Quietly but deliberately, six weeks ago family patriarch Bruce Tyrrell [E.2.4a.10b.1c.2d] called aside son Chris [E.2.4a.10b.1c.2d.3e] and told him it was time to take the reins of what is the second-oldest continuously operated family winery in Australia.
After winning the 2022 World Championships, Australia’s Women’s Coxed Four are now back-to-back World Champions after Katherine Easton, Sophie Houston, Zara Collisson, Emily Sheppard and coxswain Nicholas Dunlop [E.2.4a.9b.1c.3d.1e.1f] surged to a Gold medal at the World Rowing U23 Championships held in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

Garth Hungerford (the son of our past patron, the Hon Barrie Hungerford) is a vital member of the Wagga community as a health advocate and advisor.
He was recently honoured with the Volunteer of the Year award at the 24th Annual NSW Health Awards.
For Oscar, a country kid from Yass, NSW, who went to Shore on Sydney Harbour, a life back on the farm after graduating school in 2002 just wasn’t for him.
Instead, a five year degree in Business and Law at the University of Technology Sydney was where he wanted to be, although he admits at 18 years of age you don’t really know what you want to do.
Recently our American cousins put out a request for additional information about a painting of Sir Walter Hungerford that had been spotted in a Christie’s auction catalogue. The question was:
“Question for Lesley Abrahams or other heraldic experts. See the photos of the pertinent pages of a 2012 auction below. I see the Hungerford shield and scythes.

The Table of Certificates & Transcripts and the Index to Journals & Newsletters 1991-2021 have been updated.

Nick Dunlop [E.2.4a.9b.1c.3d.1e.1f] is the cox of the Australian Rowing Team for the U23 Women’s Coxed Four. They have just become World champions and in a new World’s Best time.
WHEN well-known and much-loved local John Hungerford started sharing Facebook posts about his beautiful wife ‘Dear Fay’, he never expected the outpouring of emotions from friends and strangers alike.
As many of you will know, John BS Hungerford [E.1.1a.7b.1c.2d] is an aficionado of long walks. When John says “going for a walk” his family know he will often be gone for several days! Last year, after a break of 8 years, John decided to do the Oxfam Trailwalker again – making it his 10th. John assembled a strong team and they did several training sessions on the trail. But COVID got in the way and the 2021 Event was cancelled.
Our Patron, the Honourable Barrie Hungerford QC, [E.9.3a.4b.1c] passed away on 26 July 2022.
