    Dave Collins: "Now this, taken the same day, I think, is interesting. Jack is missing, so he took this photo. And we have an extra, unknown, girl – presumably she took the other photo. Perhaps Ada, 19, daughter of Susan’s first marriage, but looks too young, I think. I have no ideas about the name of the dog in each photo."

  • Notes 
    • Known as Uncle Jack.

      For some years he managed Millungara Station, about 105km north of Julia Creek. He then owned Bezuma nearby - later passed to his son Egbert.

      Nephew Bob [Robert James Carden], son of 'Cardie' also worked there.

      Note from p 242 of 'Rockhampton: A History of City and District':-

      Re the drought of 1902-03.

      "The Archers' most crippling losses occurred on St Helens which before the drought and under A. J. Carden Collins' management carried 7,000 Herefords and a stud herd of Durhams."

      John Lockhart Gibson says his mother and sisters spoke fondly of Jack and Duke Collins.
