Maybe start with this marriage certificate
Ellen May McMahon m. Thomas Philip Smith 26 Nov 1919 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia

Ellen May b. 1901 would need permission of parent/s to marry, so would be good opportunity to see if Agnes is alive.

Ellen May SMITH d. 1947   parents - / Agnes McMAHON
Courier Mail 28 June 1947 Tipper Creek via Fernvale   buried Ipswich Cemetery

Hi cupoflife.

The Agnes Maria McMahon and Agnes McMahon both feature on the same 1905 census so they are different people.

I saw the marriage for Millient Fullelove but couldnt positively link it to William Frederick as there was a William who died in 1910. The one who died in 1951 was Agnes Maria.

Curiously theres a William McMahon who died in 1910 aged 6 months whose mother is Agnes McMahon.

Could this interesting story about a boy (and later adult) name Vivian McMahon be your chap?
The dates are right.

He was 48 when telling this tale

Sorry cupoflife, but as your link gave no indication of year, or its subject matter, I did not realise it was the same as mine.

Sometimes a small clue as to the nature of a finding helps us all along.

It would have helped if I checked his birth certificate rather than assuming he was a she!

A fascinating story about Vivian McMahon. Me thinks he could well  be prone to good story telling...

I was struck by the co-incidence of his having a ship's middle name and then becoming a seafarer.

Did you note he says he was raised on a mixed farm with few racehorses. Interesting.
