A few questions if I could be so bold and ask.
How did Clive Foyster start off. Some say it was in Mining, is this true? If so where was he mining and what was he mining?
Did the name Lakeland Downs come from the Lakes that he built or was it from his prospecting Friend Mr. Lakeland?
Did he have other properties elsewhere?
Why was broken dam at Lakeland never rebuilt?
When the property was cleared, was the millable timber taken to Cairns or else where? (I recall many yeas ago seeing a timber truck in Cairns with Lakeland Downs painted on the door.)
I look for to your reply
Cheers
Paul
