MOVING THE FAMILY TO BRISBANE
Then came the move to Brisbane . What a major and momentous decision at 46 years old . To start again in an unknown and much larger market - how big Brisbane must have seemed !
Family lore has it that the move to Brisbane was for the education of his children . Perhaps it was his restlessness and a need for a bigger challenge .
Ray set up the business in the Colonial Mutual building in Brisbane ’ s main street , next to the General Post Office . Such was the location of the building that General MacArthur commandeered it as his headquarters during World War II .
He always claimed this location , next to the city ’ s most important establishment , the GPO , gave the business great recognition .
