On Thursday, September 15^th, Ill.Bro. Terry Webster 31° was fortunate to be able to attend the Carpentaria Sovereign Council No. 17 at the Freshwater Masonic Centre, just outside Cairns QLD. The Deputy for the Province of Carpentaria, V∴Ill∴Bro. Joseph Lynd 33° graciously offered to pick him up from his Hotel and return him there once the evening was ended.

Ill.Bro. Richard Fapani was Installed as Grand Commander; his Officers were invested and the meeting then closed. They adjourned to the refectory for a typical tropical North Queensland supper, toasts, and fun. The members of the Council were all extremely welcoming, and a great evening was had by all.

V∴Ill∴Bro’s. Joseph Lynd, Bruce Penny, Chris McClelland, Ill.Bro’s. Richard Fapani, Lex Livingston 31°, Rick Schmidt 32°, Clyde Dorries 32°, V∴Ill∴Bro. George Harris and Ill.Bro. Ivor Player 31°
