Comments: From Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser 25/3/1911 -Mr. Andrew Jack, whose death is announced in a telegraphic message from Port Douglas, was one of the best known and most popular farmers in the district. His death occurred on his farm at Killaloe, where he residedmwith his wife, family, and 11 children, nearly all of the latter being young. He was generous to a fault. Mr. Jack's hand was ever in his pocket when the call for charity was made, and so great was his popularity that he always topped the poll at the council elections. He was a good citizen and a man whom the community can ill afford to lose

There is a mill for crushing and refining sugar, a saw-mill worked by steam, also steam ploughs at work; and about ten miles of permanent and portable railway. The progress made in three years is astonishing, the results achieved being due to indomitable energy, and to the employment of some 200 Aboriginal natives, a number of coolies and , supplemented during the busy season by some 200 white men, who act as overseers, book-keepers, drivers, engineers, carriers, and ploughmen and labourers".

Comments: From "Northern Miner"; 14 March 1934 "As the children of the town gathered to attend the schools the wind was blowing from the south-east, and it freshened. At 9 am. the first evidence of a cyclone was apparent, when branches of trees commenced to snap and trees were uprooted. It was about this time that the bulk store of N. G. Buchanan was unroofed. Prior to 10 a.m. the gale increased in intensity and veered from east to west, blowing with considerable force"

Comments: From Cairns Post 9/6/1953 MOSSMAN CELEBRATIONS MOSSMAN, June 4.-With its celebration of Coronation Day on Tuesday, June 2, Mossman had one' of its most colourful days for some time, and the ' commemoration of theCoronation will leave a lasting memory. For some days before June 2 the "Coronation fever" had been building up, and manifestations of loyalty in the form of flags, bunting, streamers and other decorations steadily increased. By the eve of the Coronation there was an air of excitement throughout the district, and coloured lights around the central part of the town helped the gaiety of the occasion. Anxiety for a fine day was allayed when Coronation morning broke clear, after a showery night, church services were well attended, and by half-past nine a good crowd had assembled in the streets to get early places pf advantage to see the procession. This had been organised by the Show Society, which was conducting the Coronation Day festivities. By the time the procession started there was a large crowd lining Mill and Front streets. A public address system had been set up for the occasion on the Exchange Hotel verandah and by this means the individual entries in the procession were identified. The first item was a most amusing caricature of the "Old Grey Mare" presented by Misses Pat Donovan and Norma Anderson, in a miniature "gig." Miss Stella Maxwell also was appropriately dressed. Leading the more serious side of the procession was the officer in charge of police (Sergeant Bartlam), accompanied by Constable Jacobsen, followed "'by an official car conveying the chairman of the Douglas Shire Council Cr. R.D. Rex) and Mrs. Rex. Mr. W.F. Moffatt (shire clerk) and Mrs. Moffatt. Stirring music was provided by Mossman's pipers, who led a contingent of marchers comprising the Boy Scouts, Cubs, Girl Guides, Junior Red Cross, basketball club (in costume) and R.S.L immediately following the marching units were the decorated cycles. Then followed the floats. 26 in all, which pro- vided a display which was a credit to those responsible. After the floats followed the Mossman contingent of show horses, and these were followed by private vehicles which followed the procession on its way to the sport ground for the continuation of the day's programme.
