Introduction
The Australia Branch was formed in 1998 under the Chairmanship
of 5567 Richard 'Dick' Hamley. The Branch, which is administered
from Perth, covers the whole of Australia except Queensland
which has its own Branch. We currently have just over 100
members.
We meet bi-monthly at 5.30 pm on the second Wednesday of the
month at the Belmont RSL and all members are welcome to attend
(please contact the Secretary for further details). Annually,
we hold three functions: the Annual General meeting which
is usually in March (followed by a braai), the Annual Luncheon
in September and a Christmas barbecue in Kings Park in December.
Members and prospective members (including former members
of the Rhodesian forces and the Colonial Police) are welcome
to attend any of our meetings and functions. They may also
apply for membership of the Branch, either as a full or Associate
Member, subject to satisfying our constitutional requirements.

and July 1965, being stationed at Salisbury Central (Traffic
and 'B' cars), before running the Town Police Hostel for a
year in 1962. He later moved to Avondale Police Station as
member in charge. He qualified as a Chartered Secretary in
1968. Kerry re-located to Perth, Australia in 1979
