Off to Stratford, via Oxford.


Don Markwell chatting to our boys at Rhodes House.



We said goodbye to our fine hosts at Queens and headed to Oxford. A slightly delayed departure and traffic meant that our time in Oxford was unfortunately a little curtailed. Notheless a walk to Rhodes House to see an exhibition featuring George Hall was not in vein despite the exhibition not being on. The current Rhodes House warder Don Markwell (from Quilpie) chatted to the boys briefly before we headed back to town and our bus via the obligitory food court. The boys were taken aback when they saw the memorial to Chester Parker, the schools other Rhodes Scholar who lost his life in WW1.

Hi Guys
Sitting in sunny South Africa and watching some Currie Cup rugger. Well done on your recent win and it is good to see the two dragons soaking up the cultural ambience!

Good luck for the rest of the tour. Will follow your progress eagerly. All the best.

Mr T.
