All that she's been able to supply me with is a surname. Has anybody during their research come across this surname or connects to this surname.

There were Goodooga families identified on Paul Mackett's website who do match up as his grandchildren. There was also a Cyril WAITES who applied for exemption (from the Qld Protection Act) in 1923 at Mitchell (aged 58) - I wonder if this was Billy's brother as the Billy Waite/s in my family was from Roma. Do you know if the Billy Waites on Palm Island was originally from the Roma district? That Billy died in 1926.

Rod Pratt cites Bil Wannan's Encyclopdia of Australian Folklore as a source. From what Paul says he would have been past middle age during WW1 but I have found older men with experience of horses were valued and accepted into the Remounts. I' ll renew my efforts to locate a record for him. He sounds a great person to have in your family.
