| Personal Notes: |
|
Aunty Johnson (Florence Amelia Madden) had a hotel at Cloncurry and the family moved out there after her father was killed in 1918. Cosomopolitan Hotel.
Lived in three houses in Cloncurry. The first was on the other side of Coppermine Ck in Leichhhardt St; the second was immediately behind the school (could walk through) (probobaly Scarr St); the third was in Ramsay Street - a low set house this lots of veranadahs - good for dancing. She was married from the house. The Anglican church was nearby (walked) to dances in the tall building next door. Played tennis at the school. The Post Office Hotel was the most plush of the hotel and the passengers from aircraft that stopped in Cloncurry on the flights from Europe stayed in the Post Office Hotel. Spent the war in Mackay where Alan had been transfered. That transfer was a big promotion. While on their honeymoon they met Mr & Mrs Bruce (after whom the highway is named - and who was they the Minister of Education). Mrs Bruce took a liking to Mavis and Mavis thinks that had a bearing on Alan's promotion. Mavis made her debut in Cloncurry aged 18 years. Lady Aladice came up from Melbourne. Apparently, she asked to speak to Mavis because of her beautiful dress (made by Helen Atkinson). Jess Ule & Ruby Tonkin were Mavis' best friends in Cloncurry. |
