📚 Edgar Wells
Edgar Wells retired to Hervey Bay in 1974 after a long Methodist ministry that included Arnhem Land and Queensland communities. Retirement did not end his studies: he completed an arts degree at the University of Queensland in 1978 and later published his account of the Yirrkala mining dispute. There he had protested the removal of land from the reserve and supported the community’s concerns, without claiming authorship of its bark petitions. Hervey Bay is his documented retirement home, a quieter chapter after the difficult arguments of his earlier public life. He later moved to Melbourne.
