that is some very interesting information.  it is amazing to see the conditions they travelled in.....

the naa site definitely states the date of arrival in brisbane as the 13 April 1930.

would the records indicate if he was an indentured servant??

I have discovered that he didn't like toowoomba and he moved with the OPPERMAN family up the north coast.

I guess the next step might be looking for electoral roll information?

many thanks

He possibly left England in 1928 and arrived in Brisbane in 1929.

The sea journey took over 6 weeks at that time.
