Frank Lundie

He was educated at local Port Adelaide public schools but at the age of eleven began working as a station-hand in western New South Wales.

[1] A moderate supporter of direct action, Lundie was also a member of the United Labor Party and strongly believed it should remain under the control of the working class rather than politicians and union leaders.

His attempts at direct political involvement had been less successful: he was defeated for the Senate in 1917 and 1919 and for the South Australian House of Assembly in 1905 and 1924.

Lundie ward in the McEwen building at the old royal Adelaide hospital was named after him to honour more than 20 years as a board member.

An ex-prisoners' hostel established by fellow councillor and state politician Albert (Bertie) Edwards in Whitmore Square was named after him in 1963.
