Growth and decline of a Cairns timber and sugar pioneer
The article recalls a Cairns era figure, manager of Sue A Pinedater and later Ry Cherne Timber Ltd, who expanded dairy interests and helped found local industry. He built a butter venture, supported Cairns Harbour Board, and served on the hydroelectric Barron Falls project committee. His later life saw sugar lands opened, stock holdings sold, and residence shifts, ending with family ties including grandchildren and a Masonic service note.
