Mr. Denis Whishaw
ONE of Northern Tasmania's best know pastoralists, the owner of the famous Carrick estate, Armidale, Mr. Denis Whishaw, died in the Launceston General Hospital on Saturday. Mr. Whishaw died after a long illness, most of which he suffered by the recurrence of injuries received during his service in the first world war. He fought with the A.I.F. On his return to Tasmania from Active service, Mr. Whishaw and his brother. Peter, as partners, took over
the Armidale Estate. During his later life he concentrated on pastoral activities. He was for many years a member of the Westbury Council, and the R.S.L. and was a Justice of the Peace. He assumed full ownership of the estate after his younger brother, Peter, was lost in an Atlantic convoy in World War II. He was well-known for his frequent and generous attitude towards local beneficiaries. When forced to end his term of management of the family estate by ill-health, he transferred managership to his son, David. He leaves his widow, Mrs. K. Whishaw, a son. David, and a brother, D. R. Whishaw, of Hobart.
