Synopsis
The story of Colonel Lionel Rose a truly great territorian.
Critique
Colonel Rose AM, OBE deserves to be celebrated for his military career alone. He served in two world wars in Europe, Palistine, PNG and Borneo and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel with MBE. But he achieved even greater things as the chief vetinary officer of the Northern Territory from 1946-1958.
Colonel Rose pioneered the live cattle trade from the NT to Asia in the late 1950s. He launched his attack on Bovine Pleuropneumonia in the late 1940s. In January 1952 the Minister for Territories Paul Hasluck went on a tour with Rose of the cattle stations within 300 miles of Alice Springs; it was organised by Colonel Rose. The two men camped out on their own. From this meeting Rose gradually developed the National Pleuro Eradication Committee (1959-1963) and official eradication was announced in 1973.
Rose pioneered the establishment of a proper research institute near Alice Springs with programs ranging from water analysis to experiments with lucerne growing. He built up the staff of his branch from 4 people in 1946 to 65 in 1958.
From 1947 to 1954 Colonel Rose was the most senior public servant in Alice Springs and occupied the Residency. He had to entertain VIPs such as Sir Anthony Eden, Sidney and Cynthia Nolan and Lord Bertrand Russel. Rose didn't like some of the bigwigs. He could never resist playing practical jokes on friends, family and guests, beginning with his early days in Cootamundra when he rode a camel into the annual ball.
The author of this splendid biography, Trish Lonsdale, is to be congratulated on a substantial and eduring contribution to the history of the Northern Territory and of veterinary science in the outback.
"Lionel Rose has done more for the cattle industry of the Northern Territory than any man has done before or will do again for many years to come." Tom Hare
