I wish to inform you of information regarding The Australian Travelling Gavel Collection —<br />

“Tamworth” (Aust.) 1993 Gavel.<br />

3 rd September 1999<br />

This gavel was presented by V. W. Bro P. Hansen of Cooroora Lodge No 232, to the W. Master of The Lodge<br />

Warwick No 8011, Province of Warwickshire, UK, W. Bro John Walker-Smith, 294 Lower Eastern Green Lane,<br />

Coventry, West Midlands, LV5 7DT, England, on the occasion of his visit to our Lodge.<br />

I understand it has been present to Warwick Lodge (just outside New York, USA) on the occasion of the<br />

meeting of the W. Masters of the four Warwick Lodges of the world (New York, Rhode Island, Australia, and<br />

England).<br />

The W. Master: of our lodge is James Bax. Our Secretary: Les Meiklejohn,<br />

Warwick Lodge, is one of three Craft Lodges in Warwick, Queensland, it was formed in 1906.<br />

Warwick, Queensland is a city of approximately 11,000 people with a shire population of 21,000. It was the first<br />

free settlement (1840) in Queensland outside the penal settlement at Moreton Bay.<br />

The shire is a rich agricultural area involving dairying, grain growing, horse studs and wool growing to the west.<br />

The principal employment is provided in the cheese factory, export meat abattoir, wool scouring plant and a<br />

BIG W., distribution centre that services northern NSW, Queensland and the Northern Territory. `<br />

A large intensive piggery and abattoir expected to provide employment for up to 500 is planned to commence in<br />

the near future.<br />

I trust this is the information sought by you to keep in touch with the movement of the Gavel and that it<br />

continues to achieve your intentions.<br />

Yours fraternally,<br />

V. W Bro Les Meiklejohn (sec.)<br />
