Disappointing after your long wait. A mystery man for now.

You could try contacting the State Library of Queensland - they have an "ask a librarian" service. Perhaps for a newspaper lookup, either for a death notice, or just a general search.

Have submitted a request to the Ask a Librarian and await their reply.
Will close this thread in the meantime and add to it if any information is found.
Thank you all

Cheers

Have had a reply from "The Librarian" and she had found a couple of newspaper clippings about a Jack King, who may or may not be this Jack King, one in Mackay and one in Innisfail, and some other possibilities to follow up that may help to discover why he just  seems to disappear.
Cheers
