1. “Launceston Examiner (Tas. : 1842 - 1899) Friday 27 September 1895 p 5 Article -SOUTHERN NEWS. BY OUR OWN REPORTERS. HOBART. HOBART, THURSDAY. The weather to-day has been dull and threatening, and a heavy haze is hanging over Mount Wellington and on the hills adjacent to the city. A boatman named Daniel Hales, who has ferried the Derwent for the past forty years between Hobart and Bellerive, died yesterday. He was a very well known identity.”
2. Daniel married a female convict and they produced eleven children one of whom, George, was a single man known as Dummy because he was unable to speak, who has been mentioned in many books recording histories of Hobart’s Derwent River.
