The clan society was formed in Perth after the visit of Dame Flora
in 1954 and more than fifty members signed up for the inaugural
meeting. Currently there are still six active members who have kept the
faith for more than 44 years. There have been several presidents during
that time, including members of the Talisker family who gave their name
to massive pastoral leases in the northwest of the state and to the
massive Lake MacLeod near Carnarvon where salt is mined. Currently the
MacLeod of Talisker lives in Western Australia and is a member of the
society. The annual round of activities includes a barbeque in the
summer, casserole suppers in the winter months, an annual restaurant
meal and afternoon teas. Six newsletters are produced each year and
members participate in local activities run by other clan societies as
well as those orchestrated by the Scottish Heritage Centre of Western
Australia. We generally meet in members' homes and enjoy the fellowship
of each other's company.
