Special thanks to Professor Brian Fitzgerald, who encouraged me to turn my research into a book, pointed me to my publishers, and is always open and enthusiastic. Thanks also to Associate Professor Patricia Loughlan, an exemplary academic supervisor, Dr Anne Fitzgerald, who generously assisted me with contacts and insights, and her colleague Neale Hooper, another of that outstanding breed called Queenslanders. I am grateful to the staff at the National Archives of Australia, always helpful and knowledgeable as I carried out research. Personal thanks to my mother for housing me while I wrote this book, my sister Mary, and my late cat Pavlova, my little chum while writing. Thanks to Dr Bernard St George for his help and kindness over the years. A special mention to Con Bonza for suggesting that I turn this work into a thriller with pictures.
