Marriage | 14 November 1929 | LEDLIE— BINDON. St. Alban's Church of England, Innisfail, was the scone of a very pretty wedding on Thursday, 14th November, when Emma, youngest daughter of Mrs. Bindon and the late Richard Bindon, Innisfail, was married to Samuel, third son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ledlie, Normanton. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. P. Hubbard. The bride entered the church on the arm of her brother Harry, wearing a frock of white satin Beauty and mariette, prettily beaded, and draped at the side. Her veil, which was kindly lent by a friend in Townsville, was worn mop cap fashion, with a coronet of orange blossom in front, and a fan effect at the back. She carried a bouquet of lillies and asparagus fern. As the bride entered the church, Mrs . L . Bond played The Wedding March. There were two bridesmaids — Miss Ethel Lindquist, niece of the bride, who wore a frock of pale blue mariette with an overdress of blue lace, and large picture hat to match, and Miss Leanore Quinn, who chose a frock of white crepe de chene, prettily draped in mariette relieved with tiny cream bows, and made early Victorian style, with picture hat to match. Both bridesmaids carried bouquets of roses, dahlias and asparagus fern. Mr. Chas. Ledlie, Herberton, brother of the bridegroom, acted as, best man. The reception was held at the residence of the bride's mother, and over 90 guests were entertained. The bride's mother received the guests, wearing a frock of black Celanese satin, relieved with beads. The tables were tastefully decorat ed with flowers and streamers. The main feature, of the table was a four tiered wedding cake, made by Mrs. Lindquist, sister of the bride, over which was suspended a large wedding bell. The usual toasts were honored, Mr. George Wright presiding. After the supper the guests retired to the sitting room, and spent the evening in singing, while the younger folk indulged in dancing and playing games. Miss Mary Wright, Mrs. . Jack Tierney and Mr. G. Wright entertained the guests with vocal, items. The bride and bridegroom were, the recipients of very many valuable presents, including cheques. On leaving for the honeymoon, which is being spent touring the Tableland, the bride travelled in a frock of green crepe de chene, trim- hed with mastic, and hat to match. Mr. and Mrs. Ledlie will reside at East Innisfail. | Innisfail, Queensland, AustraliaG1 |

Obituary | 16 February 2017 | Lionel Norman Ledlie was born in Innisfail North Queensland on 17 May 1932, the second of three sons to Sam and Emma Ledlie. Lionel attended the Innisfail East State School from 1937 to 1943 before progressing to the Innisfail State High School where he completed his Junior Certificate in 1947. This was during the War years when North Queensland was on alert for a possible attack and blackouts. Air raid drills and evacuation plans were in place. Slit trenches were built in the school playgrounds and students were given sugar bags to wear over their heads as a camouflage during air raid drills. Due to Innisfail’s heavy rainfall, the trenches were often waterlogged. Of course for children, some wartime events were quite exciting such as a B26 Martin Marauder Bomber making an emergency landing on a local airstrip. Occasionally a B25 Mitchell Bomber flew low over the Johnston River before lifting over the coastal range heading for the Garbutt airbase in Townsville. Rationing and certain food shortages were the norm at this time and most families knew the meaning of hardship. Lionel remembered his parents as loving and hard working. They grew their own vegetables, milked their own cow and the back yard chicken run provided both eggs and the usual Sunday dinner. They supplemented this fare by catching their own fish. If the children were disadvantaged in any way, they were never aware of it. Lionel’s father, Sam, volunteered with the fire brigade during the War. Lionel and his elder brother, Kevin, often joined Sam on exercises and drills. One childhood memory Lionel loved to share was about Donny the cassowary. Led by their older brother Kevin, the boys stole an egg from a cassowary’s nest and hot-footed it home, terrified the adult bird might be in hot pursuit. Their mother Emma insisted they take it back. Fearing they could be attacked by the adult bird, it was decided that Emma would wrap the egg and place it in a warm position under the stove. To everyone’s delight and amazement, Donny the cassowary was born. Lionel, his brothers and cousin Ronny Stoter, scrounged for wild berries to supplement the food scraps Emma saved from the table. The Ledlie family also had an aggressive rooster who would sometimes chase the boys around the back yard. After one call for help whilst trying to visit the outside loo, a now much larger Donny came to the rescue. Kicking his powerful legs, Donny somersaulted the Rooster down the back yard. Eventually Donny became too large and was relocated to Mt St John’s Zoo in Townsville. Sam worked for Nolan’s Limited, general merchants, as a factory hand, shop assistant and delivery driver. At one stage Sam and was virtually bed-ridden for months with sciatica. Lionel managed to get a job with a local merchant working five afternoons a week after school and on Saturday mornings which earned him 10 shillings a week, a useful contribution to the family budget. Of the three Ledlie boys, Lionel was the sporty one, his main love being bike riding. He acquired his first bike at the age of 10. He was a member of the Innisfail Cycle Club and entered many championship events in Innisfail and Cairns. Innisfail’s Evening Advocate of 31 October 1949 reports an event which occurred at Cairns: “... Kevin Thompson (Foot Runner) was defeated by inches by Lionel Ledlie (cyclist) over a distance of 75 yards. Thompson, a very fast runner, got away to a good start and was leading right to the line when Ledlie with an amazing sprint just beat Thompson on the finishing line.” Lionel married Verna Beutel in 1957 at Brisbane. Due to Lionel’s work they lived in Longreach until relocating to Brisbane where soon after Lionel joined the Chamber of Manufactures. Lionel and Verna resided most of their married life at Chermside West in Brisbane where their two children, Bronwyn born in 1964 and Grant born in 1965, were reared. Lionel’s love of sport continued over the years. He was a great supporter of the Grange-Thistle Soccer Club where his son Grant played. As was his nature, he highly involved himself in working bees and helping co-ordinate visiting soccer teams from New Zealand and the Solomon Islands. He organised teams to visit these regions and travelled with them as Manager on a couple of occasions. Lionel had a long and distinguished career during which he made a significant impact on Society. It started as he finished school when unemployment was virtually non-existent. He applied for employment with the Railways Department, the Commonwealth Bank and the State Public Service. These were the only jobs he ever applied for in his working life. All three offered him positions and he chose the Queensland Public Service where he managed to get a job in his home town of Innisfail as a member of a new department administering industrial relations. He was later transferred to Brisbane and, at the young age of 19, he became an industrial inspector ensuring relevant industrial awards and acts were observed. Not long after, Lionel was stationed at Longreach where he spent 5 years administering a district almost one-quarter of the area of Queensland. He enjoyed this work as it involved travelling through open countryside visiting every cattle and sheep property and business venture in the district. He even managed to play on every golf course in the area and fished in most of the waterholes. It was at the Longreach golf club where Lionel claimed the dubious title of the Champion Bacon and Egg Pie Eater. Lionel’s mode of transport between station properties was in a 2-wheel drive Holden utility and later a 4-wheel drive Dodge. Most roads were badly formed and often little more than tracks. When it rained on the black soil plains, travel was virtually impossible. Many times Lionel and his colleague were stranded on the side of the road, not able to make it to the nearest property. They always carried camping gear and basic food items, often setting up camp on the side of a dirt road. On his 21st birthday he stopped at the Birdsville Hotel en route to one of the outlying properties. He did not make it known, even to his work colleague that this day was a milestone in his life. He was young to hold such a responsible job and he was concerned knowledge of his age may undermine the confidence and respect he had gained from station managers and others with whom he came in contact. If only he knew how highly regarded he was. Many years later, Lionel returned to the Birdsville Hotel with Viv on one of their camping forays. They had dinner at the hotel and shared a long-belated 21st celebration over a bottle of red. Lionel progressed to become the chief industrial officer of the Queensland Chamber of Manufactures (now known as the Confederation of Industry). Whilst in that position, he undertook part-time study to complete an adult matriculation attending evening tutorial classes, followed by a further five years to complete a degree in Economics at the University of Queensland. In 1970 Lionel joined Castlemaine Perkins as its Personnel and Industrial Relations Manager. Lionel helped guide the brewery through significant challenges, including the 1974 Floods when the brewery was inundated with water…. And what became a ‘customary’ beer strike at Christmas as Unions sought to capitalise on consumer demands during the festive season. His final career position was as a member of the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission from 1977 to 1993. Upon retirement he was Chief Industrial Commissioner of Queensland and held a dual appointment with the Commonwealth Industrial Relations Commission. One of Lionel’s great challenges during his time on the Commission was the well-publicised SEQEB dispute of 1985. This long-running dispute, which left many areas of the State without power for prolonged periods, involved a number of unions, employers, government staff and an out-spoken Queensland Premier. Lionel and his colleague Harry Peebles spent many hours consulting with the various parties in an endeavour to settle this dispute. He remembered this time as one which called upon his integrity and expertise in conciliation whilst under enormous pressure from Unions and Government as the dispute dragged on for months. This became a significant case in Queensland industrial relations history. Lionel has been known to comment that he’d had a charmed working life enjoying the interaction and challenges each position offered. Lionel was appointed a Member in the General Division of the Order of Australia in 1992 for his services to industrial relations. Lionel and Verna eventually divorced and Lionel married Vivienne Curran in 1988. Sadly, Verna passed away in 1999 at the age of 67. Lionel and Viv resided in the Redlands and in 2010 moved to Salford Waters Retirement Estate where Lionel involved himself in a number of village activities. One of Lionel’s great interests was education and in furthering this passion he had a long association with the Queensland University of Technology and its predecessors, going back to 1966 when he was a part-time lecturer in personnel management. He was a member of a committee which investigated the conversion of Kedron Park Teachers College to a College of Advanced Education and in 1974 was appointed a Council member of the new North Brisbane College of Advanced Education. Eventually it became QUT and Lionel remained a member of that Council until 1998, serving his last year as Deputy Chancellor. In 1999, Lionel was awarded an Honorary Doctorate for distinguished service to QUT. The Industrial Relations Society of Queensland sponsors the annual Lionel Ledlie Prize which is awarded to the Bachelor of Business student who achieves the best academic result in the Australian Industrial Relations unit. In May 1999 Lionel had the pleasure and honour of presenting this prize to his daughter Bronwyn. Lionel has left an enduring legacy in further education, both by example and his tireless work in education administration, laying the foundation for future generations. I was personally a recipient of his generosity in passing on Wisdom. As a young 25 year old, I was setting out on a career in Human Recourses. Bron and I were working together in the HR department at Bank of Queensland when she introduced me to Lionel. He took the time to invite me regularly to Industrial Relations events over the years that followed. This was almost a decade before Bron and I became a couple. He assisted my development enormously by including me in Senior HR Forums where State and Federal Ministers, Commissioners and other leaders of industry would discuss the issues of the day. When I was confronted with complex issues, Lionel was my friend and mentor, the first person I would turn to and he always answered the call. I can not put a measure on the influence he had on me and for that I am forever grateful. Other interests Lionel pursued were golf, travel, fishing, reading and greyhound racing. The Ledlie Greyhound Syndicate commenced in about 1975. The syndicate’s greyhounds were trained by John Reimer of Dayboro. Their most decorated greyhound was Winged Runner who was Greyhound of the Year in 2001. A Winged Runner Trophy night is a yearly event at the Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club. For more than 30 years Lionel joined his band of fishing mates on Fraser Island during the tailer season. Initially they camped on the beach and then progressed to the local caravan park. As age crept on, they advanced to a cabin until finally they decided this yearly event needed to take place closer to home, so fishing spots like Stradbroke Island and Jacobs Well were the go. Eventually Lionel and his great mate Arthur would spend a week or so at Bribie Island, spending more time reminiscing than fishing. Lionel was also an active member for over 20 years of the Fortitude Beef Steak and Burgundy Wine Club and had many friendships there. It is pleasing to see some members in the gathering here today. Lionel and Viv enjoyed many years of travel, both overseas and within Australia with their 4WD and camper trailer. They loved bush camping, fishing and gem fossicking. Viv was his best friend and constant life companion. Lionel was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in late 2012 and Lewy Body Dementia some time later. Viv became his dedicated full time carer until early August last year when he suffered a minor stroke. This, combined with his other medical conditions, necessitated his transfer to a full time care facility. He moved to Moreton Shores Aged Care Facility at Thornlands five months ago until last week when his condition deteriorated. Lionel passed away peacefully with his close family by his side at Redlands hospital. When recently asked to describe his life, Lionel thought for a moment and replied, “I have had a charmed life, a few bad patches but overall, a charmed life.” The family would like to acknowledge the dedicated people who made a difference to Lionel’s life over past months at Moreton Shores and Redlands Hospital. Finally, the family would like to acknowledge each and every one of you who have touched Lionel’s life in your own special way. He would be overwhelmed at the love and support here today and from the many people who could not attend. He remains much loved and respected by all who had the privilege of knowing him. |
