My book “Dovercourt: Toowong’s Hidden Treasure and Its People”

One hundred years ago, a milkman made history when he got into trouble with his taxes. Please follow the link in my profile to read and share this unknown little piece of history, "When a Milkman Made Tax History." With the tax season almost upon us, here's a reminder to be careful because a century ago for one man it blew up into a Royal Commission. Please follow the link on my profile to Like and Share the story, "The Butter Boss and the Taxman." The first Queensland-made car was manufactured in Toowoomba 125 years ago by an amazing family. Please follow the link on my profile for the story, "The Trevethans: The Family Who Built Queensland’s First Car." It's been 176 years and the story of Ipswich’s greatest ever librarian has never been told until now. Please Like, Share, Follow the story via my profile to keep his memory alive, "The Miner Who Became Ipswich’s Greatest Librarian." While in the West Australian goldfields, I tracked down the Darling Downs’ most successful builder of the last two centuries with connections to the US president. Please follow and share the link on my profile for the story, "The Connolly Cousins: Murder, Mayors and Million‑Dollar Contracts." Exactly 100 years ago this year, these two locations in the Australian Goldfields were central to the most evil murders of serving policemen in Australian history. I went to Fremantle in Western Australia to visit the hotel that accommodated the survivors of a shipwreck 116 years ago. I found an incredibly rewarding story. Please follow the link on my profile for the story, "The Last of the Pericles." I travelled to Kalgoorlie to rediscover one man's greatest triumph just 11 years after the Wright Brothers. Please follow the link on my profile to enjoy and share the amazing story, "Rediscovering Arthur Jones." Here in the goldfields of Western Australia I've found the most unique monument to a world record that you'll ever see - the Big Camel of Coolgardie!
