It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of one of our prominent Old Boys, Lloyd McDermott. A boarder in Gerald, Lloyd played 1st XI Cricket for two years in 1956 & 1957 and 1st XV Rugby for three years in 1955, 1956 and 1957. He also competed in Track & Field and in 1955 was the Under 16 Champion. Australia’s first indigenous barrister, Lloyd was also one of the first indigenous Wallabies and made a notable stand against apartheid in South Africa by making himself unavailable for the 1963 tour there. RIP Lloyd!
