Rotary Breakfast Speaker: George Friend Nuyina bell
Nuyina bell presentation. The Official Launch of the RSV Nuyina hosted by Honourable Sussan Ley MP, Minister for the Environment, was held in the Port of Hobart’s Macquarie Wharf 02 Building, adjacent to the moored RSV Nuyina, on Saturday 18 December 2021 commencing at 9.30 am, before a crowd of approximately 150 invited guests. The highlight of the occasion was undoubtedly the presentation of the ship’s Bell by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) Club President Major George Friend, which was draped with the Club’s 70th Anniversary flag and unveiled by the Prime Minister, the Hon Scott Morrison MP. The Prime Minister was invited to ring the Bell, which was immediately answered to the delight of the guests, by a blast from the Ship’s horn alongside.
