This well known Australian was born in Jamestown in 1908 and lived on the family farm a few kilometres out of Jamestown. He was educated at the small rural school “Loudon Brae”.
Drought, his father’s poor health and the 1914-1918 war resulted in the family moving to Adelaide when he was 12.
As a young man he travelled many parts of Australia spending time in the outback working as a camel boy, gathering knowledge at every opportunity. It was at this time he learnt the art of boot making.
Reginald died November 4th 2003 at the age of 95.
He was a unique Australian who played a significant role in the development of our outback heritage.
