Hi Liz, Did your Parker attended the opening of the Chillagoe smelters in September of 1901? If so I would be most interested in learning more about him, even if he was just there will do at this stage. I am the research officer for the Mareeba Histical Society and as we are in the Celebration of Federation year, part of the Celebration will be held at Chillagoe. Will send you further information if you are interested. Don't hesitate to contact me soon. Regards, Helen Kindt
