A Gift from Derby Lodge
No 341

  
At our meeting held on 26th February 2001, Bro John Bateup  presented to the Lodge a casket containing two Carved Boab nuts from the Kimberley’s on behalf of the
Worshipful Master of Derby Lodge No 341.  John said the two Lodges share a uniqueness. The Sydney Lodge had members from many countries. The Derby Lodge had a number of indigenous members and the carvings on the boab nuts had Masonic and Aboriginal symbols carved on them to demonstrate the importance we place on the brotherhood of Freemasonry.

The Boab Nuts were hand carved by WBro Gordon Marshall .  WBro Gordon Marshall is the incumbent IPM at The Derby Lodge and an Aboriginal Police Officer in Derby, renown in the Kimberley for his Aboriginal Art.
