For this week’s segment of “Mind Blown” on the All Day Breakfast podcast, Alex steps back in time for some Australian history.
He talks about a book he read called “The Mayne Inheritance” which tells the story of Patrick Mayne, a young man who migrated to Brisbane Australia from Ireland in 1841 where he found work as a slaughterman in an abattoir. In 1848 a sawyer, Robert Cox, was savagely murdered at Kangaroo Point and a considerable amount of money was presumed to have been stolen.
SUDDENLY Patrick has a large sum of money and buys his own butcher shop in Brisbane’s central business district.
“There’s no proof that it happened and it’s all alleged but
it’s a very interesting story about how one of Brisbane’s most prestigious
riverside buildings has come to find it’s way to where it is today”.
