Geoff and Shirley retired to Brisbane in 2001 to be nearer to their family - three sons and their families.

Geoff and Shirley celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on May 16.
They celebrated this very important occasion at a dinner at Brisbane’s Stamford Plaza hotel with their immediate family.
Geoff and Shirley received a range of congratulatory letters and best wishes to mark their golden wedding anniversary - including from the Governor-General, the Queensland Governor, the Prime Minister and the Queensland Premier.
