    In the 1911 census, there are 6 E. Perkinseses. I like Earnest, who is a Marine Engineer living on a house ship in the port of Dundalk.

Perkins Brewery, 1896

from State Library of Queensland

    Patrick 'Paddy' Perkins, another Victorian with interests in mining and brewing, opened a brewery in Toowoomba in 1866 and purchased the City Brewery in Brisbane in 1872. In 1876 Perkins moved to Queensland to manage the brewing business and from 1877 was member for Aubigney in the Queensland Legislative Assembly. His reelection in 1883 was declared void due to electoral fraud but he was not disqualified from standing again and was elected in Cambooya in 1888 and was appointed to the Legislative Council in 1893 where he sat until his death in 1901.

    The Perkins brothers moved to Queensland, after trying to make a ‘go’ down south, and built the Downs Brewery at Toowoomba in 1868. The business prospered, and Paddy went to Brisbane several years later, becoming involved in real estate, hotels and politics. Eager to expand their brewing interests into the large Brisbane market, in 1872 the brothers purchased the brewery of Stanbridge & Harrison, founded in 1869; they traded as Perkins & Co. City Brewery. There were no other breweries in Brisbane at that time, and only two others in country Queensland, both at Gympie. William Gooley was the manager of the City Brewery in 1876, and in the ensuing years he had much to do with the growth and success of the business. Included in their range of products was the popular Perkins XXX Bitter Ale. Thomas Perkins died in 1879. Two years later the business was floated as Perkins & Co. Ltd. Paddy retained 25 per cent of the shareholding, and the breweries at Toowoomba and Brisbane were extensively upgraded. New brands of ale were released including Carbine Stout and by 1885 the City Brewery was arguably the largest and most profitable in Queensland. However, the depression years of the 1890s seriously affected the business, causing the company to be wound up and reconstructed in 1894.
