Polio Death and Rescue Efforts at Robinhood Station
Noel Clark, 25, of Robinhood Station, died at 4:30 am after a Mareeba doctor and Cairns Aerial Ambulance failed to save his life. His brothers Murray and Carleen, both affected by polio, prompted further transfers as the outbreak spread to Kidston and other towns. The Cairns aerial service carried doctors and supplies to remote homesteads, while the Clark family faced additional illness and hospitalizations in a region-wide polio crisis.
