Dr W. E. McFarlane, medical doctor and astronomer

from State Library of Queensland

Vesna Verencevic said:
Skilled in using stethoscopes as well as telescopes, but singing, dancing, and playing the piano make him a superhero doctor.
Vesna Verencevic said:
"The town's doctor was of vital importance for his medical work but Dr McFarlane had other talents as well. The newspapers of the time record him playing the organ for a Masonic function and appearing in a local variety show singing comic songs and accompanying himself on the piano. He built a small roller-skating rink under his house for the use of the local children and was also a keen amateur astronomer. In 1910 he purchased a fine 7 inch refracting telescope and built an observatory with rotating dome to house it behind his house on Hospital Hill.
