    I have also searched but could not find anything. I do agree Mr. Miles had a very white, fine, and long beard. Mustache as well.

    Civilian That month he was been appointed Governor of Queensland and sworn in on 1 October, the first Australian-born to hold the post. In 1951 his term was extended for another five years and then extended to 1 October 1957. Lavarack discharged his duties 'with a quiet and modest dignity' with a soldierly sense of duty, his friendly accessibility and desire to be of service to the people of Queensland. As Governor he held numerous patron and honorific appointments which come with that office. Because of ill health he was relieved of his Governor’s duties on 25 January 1957. He died on 4 December 1957 in his home at Buderim, Queensland and was accorded a state funeral and cremated. His wife, who had been president of the AIF Women's Association during World War II, survived him, as did his three sons, all of whom served in that war. In recognition of a life dedicated to service in the army and then as Governor, Lavarack Barracks at Townsville is named after him.

Pearl diver in his diving suit Thursday Island, 1932

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    How the legacy of Japanese pearl divers is being preserved in the Torres Strait The descendants of Japanese pearl divers in the Torres Strait are coming together for Obon, Japan's day of the dead, to remember the contribution of their forebears to an industry that claimed hundreds of lives. Seventy-five years ago, hundreds of Japanese pearl divers were deported from Australia at the end of World War II after being interned as enemy aliens. It largely ended a then-lucrative industry in Queensland’s Torres Strait and one that claimed the lives of hundreds of seasonal workers. Advertisement Tomitaro “Tommy” Fujii is one of the most famous pearl divers of the Torres Strait. He came to Australia in 1925, survived the industry, and was one of those allowed to stay on after the war. His children are now preserving the legacy of their father and the many other divers like him. This week, the family - and other descendants - will mark Obon, a Buddhist ceremony honoring the dead, as well as the economic and social contribution of what was once Australia’s largest Japanese community. Tommy's grave, which has a headstone in the Torres Strait's regional capital Thursday Island, stands in stark contrast to the hundreds of other Japanese divers who died on the job.
