Senator Ian Wood Archive
Ian Alexander Christie Wood was born in Mackay on 31 January 1901. He became a local businessman, owning first a newsagency and, soon after, a travel agency. He was elected an Alderman to the Mackay City Council in 1927 and in 1930 became Australia's youngest mayor. In 1950 he was elected to the Senate as a member of the Liberal Party and served as Chairman of the Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances - the 'watchdog' of Parliament - from 1953 to 1973. His Senate career ended in 1978 and he died in 1992. This collection includes personal materials as well as items relating to Senator Wood's major interests, Mackay, tourism and politics.
