Looking Back
Early Life and Moves
Dingoes proved a real menace there, so the family moved to Capella where they purchased the Paramount Theatre and a small cattle station before winning a land ballot off the failed Queensland British Food Corporation.
Marriages and Relocations
He then married and moved to the Gold Coast then to Brunswick Heads and to another theatre.
Career Changes
Television caused a recession in that so he went out as a deck hand on a trawler and cut timber before selling out and returning to the bush.
Work with British Petroleum
He then took a position with British Petroleum being granted the whole of Cape as his territory.
Business Ventures
He then bought a produce agency and Stock Agency at Bowen in Queensland buying several cattle and sheep stations until a car accident killed his partner, so he sold out and bought charter boats, operating them from Brisbane to Thursday island, but after losing a deckhand retired from that and went back into business in Bowen.
