Various creators Scartwater Trust Archive. [Archive]
Summary
The Scartwater Trust began in 1917. A H.W. Cunningham and a committee purchased Scartwater cattle station to help rehabilitate returned servicemen after World War One. Proceeds from Scartwater provided financial assistance to ex-service personnel and gave educational scholarships to their children. In 1961, a retirement home for ex-service personnel was established in Bowen. In 1979 Scartwater Station was sold and the proceeds invested. These records trace the history of the trust and could be read in conjunction with the Cunningham Memorial Home Archive (see Related Links).
