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

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! The West Australian Goldfields is where 127 years ago a family from 3,000km to the east claimed a unique piece of history. Please follow and share the link on my profile for the story, "A Star on the Goldfields." I'm here in Kalgoorlie in the West Australian goldfields researching an Ipswich miner and rugby star from Queensland. In 1899 he was uniquely honoured twice, but not for the reason you may think. I told the whole story live on @westbremerradioipswich
