Sir George is the Governor of Queensland whom Mr. Frazer briefly meets when he tries to find government support for his proposal. Sir George, however, is utterly useless. Demonstrating what Lachlan perhaps could have become if he failed to grow up, Sir George is a dreamer, but not an executor, lacking the follow-through to ever achieve anything. This lack of achievement hampers Sir George’s political career, but he does not even have the maturity to own his failure, instead blaming it on other people. Sir George invites Mr. Frazer to dinner after hearing his proposal, but he ultimately fails to see its value.
