Notes |
- From daughter Glenda: Dad started school at Lake Eacham State School 7-7-1913, aged 5 years 11 months, later named Peeramon State School, but later went to Thornburgh College, Charters Towers. I went to Blackheath in 1968.
When Dad and Mum married, they lived and worked at the Royal Hotel with his parents. A few times Dad went out and did other jobs, but came back again to the Hotel.
Sometime in the mid 1930's Dad and Mum where on a tobacco farm out near the Barron Bridge, Biboorha, via Mareeba. Tobacco was a new trial crop and a lot of farmers did not do well as they were wiped out with blue mold. I do not know the full story of this time, but just know the farm was not a success.
While Dad was at CTL (Cairns Timber Limited) in Cairns, he studied and learnt to be an Engine Driver. At some time while he was there, my Father in Law, Norm Pollard, was also working there as a junior, and met and got to know Will. When the war broke out, they where both told they were in a protected industry (Important to the War that they stay at this job), and therefore could not enlist as soldiers. This did not prevent either from trying. Norm actually got as far as Brisbane before he was stopped and sent back.
Will was in the VDC from 1942 until it was disbanded in 1945.
When Dad came back to Mareeba, they lived in Starcke St, over the other side of Granite Creek from the town. The Moodys, (Ruth's Uncles) owned a few blocks in this area and Will and Ruth lived on one. This was quite close to the Mareeba Bacon Factory where he worked as an Engine Driver.
Dad had this job up to his death, which was thought to have been caused from the heavy and strenious work he carried out. Mum recieved compensation for his death, with some being allocated to raise me as I was only 5 at the time. This money also allowed Mum to send me to Blackheath for grade 10 to follow in my father's footsteps.
