their time, required from them many hundreds of decisions, and no doubt gave them several headaches and sleepless nights. Thank you also, of course, to the architects Alex Coutts and Peter Coad for their design, patience, perseverance, their willingness to listen to what the Brothers wanted, and their desire to do the job well. Thank you also to Andrew Heenan and Lindsay Bush of Pluim Building Firm, who, with master builder Dean Rogers and his team, were able to make the hopes a beautiful and comfortable reality. Thank you to Br Tom, Pat Makin, and Sadie Fletcher, for providing the afternoon tea: a gourmet's delight. It has been decided to name the three-house complex "Delany Place" in honour of our founder Bishop Daniel Delany. Quite an interesting yet coincidental juxtapositioning of the "motherland" with the "mission country": Delany Place, 18-20 Boomerang St... Now, which is my room?
