The visit was to elevate Brother Peter Robertson to a KOM Degree (Knight of Merit). A number of Brothers from other lodges attended to take part in the rituals of the ancient ceremony testifying their esteem, regards and appreciation of the zeal, enthusiasm and devotion of the Brother. A great afternoon on conviviality was enjoyed by all. The world-wide Buffalo Order is an accident order with ideals of unity, liberty and charity. 

Overheard was the following: Mother “no” to her child (7 or there about). His retort was “Well you know what mum? Jesus always says “yes”!”  Mother said “Well I’m not Jesus!” The child responded “Well I wish you were!” There didn’t appear to be any change in the situation following this discussion.

It was a busy Friday last with all the police vehicles in Henty. One local identity had a near miss with one of the police pursuit vehicles. Whilst another identity has complimented on the fleeing vehicle’s durability whilst it was demolishing gates and fences as it was chased through farming properties. 

Rachael Vincent, Regional Museum Officer, Museum of the Riverina Wagga, is to visit Henty over the coming days following up on some of Henty’s early industrial history, in particular the work of the Whitlock family. The Museum of the Riverina had been awarded grant funding to undertake a project called Talking Machines. This is a video history project recording stories from a generation of men and women who used to work the land with historic farm machinery.
