A new metal Flag Pole has been installed at the RAAF Memorial Centre.  It replaces the old wooden one that was rotting away and very badly weathered.  On Wednesday morning 28 OCT 2020 the RAAF Ensign was raised to the mast head to mark the occasion.  The photo above  records the event.

The State President, SQNLDR Alan Robertson, laid a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of all members of the Tasmania Division.  It was a most moving ceremony and while not open to the public, it was pleasing to see a number of folk turn up to pay their respects.
