Dear St. John Darwin,

We cannot write to everyone whom we met in and around Darwin so we asked if we could this put this letter in Vollie News. We both want to thank St. John NT for everything which you did to make our visit so memorable and enjoyable.

We will remember for a very long time the outstanding Investiture in the marvellous setting of Government House. We will also remember for a long time the conducted tours which Ross Coburn, Steve Peers and Mick McKay gave us of the various Centres as well as Casuarina – we probably left them exhausted from answering our numerous questions throughout our visit.

From the Sailing Club we saw over Fannie Bay the most beautiful sunset which we have ever seen; and there could have been no better way of ending our visit than the splendid Combined Social Night and BBQ at Palmerston.

Thank you all for your lovely presents, your touchingly warm welcome, and your great hospitality. We came away with the happiest memories.

St. John in the Northern Territory is vibrant and innovative. We have already been talking about it in other parts of the St. John world – and we will continue to do so.

Thank you again for the marvellous time which we had with you.

With all best wishes
Tony and Elizabeth Mellows
