The House of Fraser: An Australian Story

By Shirley Eldridge

From a teenage champion bike rider in the 1890s, to an adventurous young Klondyke gold miner in Northern Canada,

from an ANZAC at Gallipoli to a World War I Intelligence Officer who witnessed and wrote the report of the shooting down of 'The Red Baron', the inimitable Donald Lovat Fraser of Rockhampton went on to become a notable character in the Queensland mining industry.

Queensland historian, Dr Lorna McDonald, said: 'Central Queensland is justly proud of its individualistic pioneer coal developer, Donald Fraser...'

This is the (mainly) pictorial story of Donald and his families, pieced together from diaries and letters he left behind, from newspaper articles, and most interestingly from anecdotes from those who knew him.
