On a chilly autumn night in 1966, inside a small boiler room at Geelong Grammar’s secluded Timbertop campus, Jonathan “Jonny” Southey had an encounter with the future King Charles III that he would never forget.
Southey, who was 14 at the time, said he was smoking a cigarette – a big no-no at the elite campus in Victoria’s high country – when he was caught by the then first in line to the throne.
Charles was 17 when he was sent to study in Australia for two terms, and he was something of a “prefect figure”, Southey said.
