In the true tradition of 1st Deer Park, our investitures are
always an interesting affair and Konrad's was no different. After
much discussion about a site, it was decided we would go back to
somewhere we had used before but not in the time of the current Unit
members. The place, Gelibrand Hill overlooking Melbourne Airport,
Tullamarine.
The Intrepid Leader led the way with Ambre in hot pursuit and we
made to find the wind blowing a gale right off the runways. There was
also the 'interesting' part. It seems we had stumbled across the site
when a marriage proposal was going to take place later that night.
Not wanting to spoil anyone's fun, we did what we had to do and left.
Despite leaving a note under a windscreen, we never did find out
whether she said yes.

tries to remember what he had to remember.

But first it was the Intrepid Leader's privilege to
present Ambre with her Certificate Of Adult Membership to
say that she had been accepted as an Adult into
Scouting.
|
Yes, I did let go of it.
|
And then we moved on to the reason we were really there,
Konrad's investiture.
|
I'm going to have to show someone how to aim the camera
in the dark.
|
You'd think it was the Intrepid Leader's
investiture.

How did we know there was going to be a marriage
proposal, I'll give you one guess.
