Thomas Mc Rae

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Born in Edinburgh in 1935 and trained as a Zoology Lab Technician.

Performed as a magician in a concert party for several years prior to army service with Royal Army Medical Corps (1956–1958).

Spent most of my working life as a Medical Entomologist, living for almost 11 years in Ghana's Upper Region (1960–1971).

Came to Brisbane in 1971 to take up an appointment at University of Queensland where I worked until December 1995.

Now retired I pass the time making miniatures of houses and attendant furniture and military figurines.

Also secretary of two masonic orders and Queensland Head of another.

I write papers on masonic history which have been published in journals.

A lifelong fan of William McGonagall I acted out his role as a Walkways Performer during Brisbane’s World EXPO 88 and continued this afterwards on stage and radio where I was a presenter on the local Scottish Radio programme.

To add to my hats I am also a licensed Liturgical Assistant within The Anglican Church of Australia.

At 73 I have led an interesting life and would change none of it if I had to do it all again.
