- June Meeting 2018 – Cancelled due to Subcon 2018
- AGM August 2018 – Venue HMAS Platypus with Memorial Service.
Please click on link to Expression of Interest SUBCON18 http://www.submarinesaustralia.com/subcon2018.html
April 2, 2017 was closure for two families when Father Keith Dalby led a short service at HMAS Platypus for the scattering of the Ashes of POUWSM Bob "Tug" Wilson and LSUWSM Blake (Bruce) Mitchell.
The service had been delayed for some time whilst Carol Wilson sought approval from the SHFT and arranging a date for the families to be able to attend.
There were memories galore as we met on the wharf for the service with swirling winds that made for unpredictable directions when the ashes were cast into the harbour. Afterwards we had a traditional Tot in the memory of Bob and Bruce.
Fabian has asked if anyone can confirm what submarine his father served on in 1975 as he was christened on the submarine and wants to see if he can locate the ball with his name.
This also was the 9th Anniversary of Bob’s passing.

The Last Post ceremony Held Daily at 4.55 pm (AEDT)
At the end of each day, commencing at 4.55 pm AEDT, the Memorial farewells visitors with its moving Last Post ceremony. The ceremony begins with the singing of the Australian National Anthem, followed by the poignant strains of a Lament, played by a piper. Visitors are invited to lay wreaths and floral tributes beside the Pool of Reflection. The Roll of Honour in the Cloisters lists the names of more than 102,000 Australians who have given their lives in war and other operations over more than a century. At each ceremony the story behind one of these names will be told. The Ode is then recited, and the ceremony ends with the sounding of the Last Post.
On the first and third Wednesday of each month the Last Post ceremony includes the presence of Australia's Federation Guard. At 4.00 pm a catafalque party mounts a vigil at the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier in the Hall of Memory. There is a change of guard at 4.30 pm, and the entire catafalque party then participates in the Last Post ceremony.
Live stream via webcam To enable anyone anywhere in Australia or overseas to view the Last Post ceremony, it is broadcast live daily via webcam on the Memorial’s website from 4.55 pm AEDT. The ceremony is a memorable occasion, engaging visitors and offering them the opportunity to remember those Australians who have lost their lives in war and to reflect on their service and sacrifice.
Proudly supported by the RSL & Services Clubs of Australia.
