Biennial Visit to Bright

A biennial visit of Melbourne St Clair Reunion Lodge No. 17, to the Lodge of Unity No. 54 Bright, that has started 78 years ago, 1946-7 and it has been occurring every year, except for the recent COVID interruption. This has been a great event on our annual Lodge’s calendar, providing an opportunity to escape the busy life of our city and enjoy fellowship with our Lodge of Unity Brethren whilst enjoying the great expanse of our Australian country settings.
