John Markham

In 75 years John lived enough to fill two lifetimes. He was passionate about sport, particularly tennis, Aussie Rules footy and cricket. He spent many a weekend playing tennis with his father and brothers and the games were always "take no prisoners". He loved vintage cars, photography, travel, country and folk music and collecting anything and everything. He was proud of his achievements in business having been involved in land developments throughout Australia but especially enjoyed his time working in the Northern Territory. His proudest achievements centred around flying, particularly bringing a twin engine Piper Chieftain from the US, via the Arctic, Europe, Middle East and Asia.
