Bunny Adair

Herbert Arthur "Bunny" Adair (23 August 1905 – 10 October 1994) was a politician in Queensland, Australia.

[1] Adair was educated at state schools in Herberton, Wolfram and Aloomba and at the Mount Carmel College, Charters Towers.

[1][5] Adair did not contest the 1969 election in which Bill Wood won Cook for the Labor Party.

On Tuesday 27 July 1954, Bunny Adair, an experienced bushman, set out from Cape Tribulation to walk 20 miles to Bloomfield to inspect the country through which local people wanted to build a road.

[6] On Friday 30 July, a man was spotted on the beach about seven miles north of Cape Tribulation by Australian National Airways pilot Bob Rowell who was conducting an air search in an Auster aircraft.

Adair explained that he had encountered impenetrable jungle about two miles from Bloomfield and had been forced to return to the coast.
