In 1987 they also accepted an appointment at Queenstown (Tas.) where they faithfully served for four years, while also completing the Mature Age Training Course and in 1990 they received their commission as AuxillaryCaptains. In 1991, they were asked to relocate to Cornwall/St Marys (Tas.) where they continued to faithfully serve, even after retirement on 1 June 1996. Reg was promoted to glory in 2009.
