Bowen Independent 24 Sept 1929
Passing of “Bobby” Boyd. There passed away at the Kennedy Hospital last Saturday morning an old resident of the Bowen district in the person of Robert (“Bobby.”) George Boyd. Born at Havilah station in 1865, the deceased’s parents were amongst some of the first to settle in this dis trict, and for a time they kept a hotel on the banks of the Bogie, in the vicin ity ,of Eton Vale station. Later on they moved to what was known as the “One Mile’, and bred cattle and horses. Here they died and were buried. , When 15 years of age the late Robert Boyd was employed on Eton Vale, and later on worked at Mt. Abbott, Glenore and Salisbury Plains. At one period of his early career he and the late Jimmy Spooner ventured further North, and for a time the former was employed at Wrotham Park, and station in the vicinity of the Coen River.' He also went on the roads for a time with teams owned by the late James Andrews, and their destitution was often as far west as Bowen Downs Station. He excelled at all kinds of station work, such as camp drafting, roughriding and work ing cattle in yards. Those were the days when, as one of our bush bards put it, “You had to stick like plaster, and the stockyard rails fell down.” And Bobby Boyd could stick to the roughest:horse. It is believed that he was only thrown, out of a saddle on three occasions. When he first went to work at Eton Vale, horses were not broken, in until they were nine or ten years of age, and these were the sort of animals deceased had to handle from boyhood. At various times he rode against some fine horsemen, amongst them being Dave Black and Bob Black,, an aboriginal rider: who chiefly worked at Strathmore.,When the name of Bobby Boyd is mentioned amongst those who knew him out where the cattle graze, many a story will be told of the habits and customs of the aborigines. When he was four years of age the blacks of the Bundarra tribe, whose hunting grounds were about our pastoral country, used to take him away from home for weeks at a time, and they treated him as one of their own children, with the result that they taught him their language and he became an expert bushman. These aborigines admitted he could speak their language better than themselves, and he was so keen sighted that he could find his way any where in the bush on the darkest night. In after years, he became so popular with the blacks that they called him "The White Mari” (blackfellow). The deceased was twice married, and there were four children from these unions - daughter, Mrs. Percy Anderson, has since died, but those still living and to whom we extend our sympathy are Robert George Boyd, of the 14 mile Collinsville line, James Boyd, of Proserpine, and Mrs. George Luxford, of Merinda.
