Farewell to Revered Brother Bale in Cloncurry
A large crowd gathered at the Parish Hall Tuesday for the farewell to Revered Brother A. A. Bale. The popular young priest, once a raw pommy, served country districts across N W Queensland and won wide affection for his cheery outlook and understanding of outback life. He departs for Innisfail then Africa and England, with hopes of returning soon. Archdeacon Brown welcomed Brother Drury, who will replace Bale, and the event featured a suitcase and traveling gifts from Cloncurry residents, a fine supper, and social activities hosted by the Women’s Guild.
