Peter Mitchell

Peter spent the first 12 years of his life in Frankston. He began his journalism career at Channel 9 in Melbourne and moved to Channel 7 in February 1988.

During his 30 years in the media, Peter has covered some of the world's biggest stories including Princess Diana's death in 1997, the breaking stories of September 11 in New York, the Bali bombings and most recently the Black Saturday tragedy.

His father, Geoff Mitchell, was the Mayor of Frankston from 1970 to 1971, and also played football for Frankston in the VFA.

Peter and his family still live locally and he drives through Frankston daily on his way to the Channel 7 studios at Docklands.
