A rather short transfer!

St John's, Brisbane

The bells of St John's Cathedral Brisbane were rung for the first 
time tonight (Tuesday 1st June) in their new location in the central 
tower. The bells have waited for around 100 years to finally make it 
to their intended home. 

First impressions, hot off the press, are extremely positive. The 
sound is wonderful, and the challenges that were formerly well known 
to ringers of St John's have almost all disappeared. 

The ringing room is still under construction, but it is hoped that 
things will be operational within one month, and fully completed 
within three months. (From Emma Hadfield).


Question

This is the shortest distance a ring has been transferred? Discuss.
