Daphne: Nearly a Century Living on One Farm

THE death has occurred of one of Daradgee’s longestterm residents. Daphne Turner, born in 1925, lived on a Daradgee farm for 95 years. She passed away recently at ninety-seven at Warrina Nursing home, where she spent the last two years of her life.

Daphne had a wealth of knowledge of the history of Innisfail and documented life in the Daradgee and Garradunga districts. She was the only child of Ethel and Ellis Blundell, the first owners of her family farm. Her father was a pioneer, inventing farm equipment for the sugar cane industry. The farm is still in family hands.

Daphne scored well in the scholarship exams at Daradgee School. However, WWII cut short her education. Instead, she made camouflage nets as part of the local war effort. Daphne also played her piano accordion at Farewell and Welcome Home parties for troops at Garradunga Hall.

A soldier from Canberra, David Turner, married Daphne in 1946. With the increasing mechanisation of the sugar industry post-war, he helped his father-in-law invent the Blundell mechanised cane planter.

Daphne and David worked as a team on the farm, raising their five children. Daphne did the books for the farm, stripped cane for planting and provided delicious smokos. Their family has since grown to ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
