The setting promises to add a layer of solemnity and grandeur to the already profound ritual.
Following the masonic proceedings, the Festive Board set amidst the natural splendour of the Central West and the picturesque banks of the Lachlan River, attendees will indulge in a sumptuous banquet, and participate in brotherhood, joy, and fraternal spirit.
