Thanks for looking, Kite.
He was a terrible old rogue, with a fund of tall stories. A lot, as we have investigated, proved to have a germ of truth in them. But a trip to Australia ought to have left some trace.....
Unlike his tale of dressing up as a woman, complete with makeup, and visiting a ladies' lavatory! As he was tall, with a beaky nose, he would have made a most unlikely woman! But that's one story we shall never know the truth of.
