Fact 1*

In 1921 there was a terrible accident and 3 of his (Alfred Edward Switzer's) girls were drowned.

While travelling from their property at Gum Creek near Charlesville in Queensland, Australia, to Sydney in a wagonette, Alfred and Alice with their children approached Middle creek and found it to be in flood. Alfred who was riding another horse crossed the swollen creek several times to find the best place to bring the wagon through. Satisfied that he choose the right place, he tied one end of a rope to the pole of the wagon, and the other end to the pommel of his saddle and proceeded to lead the wagon horses through the creek. When they were still some distance from the bank, Alfred's horse stumbled and went under, with this he panicked and pulled the other horses and wagon into deep water where it overturned, throwing the three girls, iEthel, Ada and Elsie in the flooded creek resulting in the drowing of all three. The three horses, all tied to the wagon were swept downstream and drowned as well.

An inquest was held on June 2, at which two witnesses as well as Alfred and Alice made statements. QUeensland Archives, JUS/N716 37/1921.
