Kelly Davis remembered

Kelly Davis was a good friend of Dorothy’s  and mine. His cheerful, friendly, generous nature was infectious.  

We had many wonderful holidays and fun times together; trekking, skiing, fishing, golfing, and playing  snooker, all of that Kelly excelled at, leaving me in his wake  despite my baulking and razzing.                                

Kelly’s extensive knowledge of fauna and flora enlightened and enthused our interest in the natural wonderland around Paluma.

Strong physically and in character, Kelly approached all difficulties pragmatically, applying his many skills and practical knowledge to problem solving, and generously helping others with advice and assistance when required.  Building many verandas in Paluma, including ours, Kelly started “veranda envy” in Paluma.

At Paluma Dorothy and I will sit at our “Kelly made” beautiful red stringy bark table on our “Kelly made” veranda and sadly, but fondly reflect the wonderful, inspiring impact Kelly has had on our lives.

  2. Vale Kelly Davis. I got to meet Kelly initially when he a Carol ran Ivy Cottage Tearooms. Cliff and Dawn ,Kelly and myself use to play tennis on the now defunct tennis courts. We were really no match against this man mountain. He became very interested in what I was doing with pottery and built a couple of sturdy kiln sheds for me. He was generous his time and we had many good times together. He will be sadly missed by the residents of Paluma.
