Arthur Whittingham
Arthur Herbert Whittingham (20 September 1869 – 20 June 1927) was a Grazier, and member of the Queensland Legislative Council.
==Early life==
Of Shropshire heritage, Whittingham was born in September 1869 at Dunedin, New Zealand, to George Whittingham, merchant, and his wife Selina (née Davidson).〔(Whittingham, Arthur Herbert (1869–1927) ) – Australian Dictionary of Biography. Retrieved 4 April 2015.〕 Around 1871, his family moved to Victoria, Australia where his father became a principal of Whittingham Bros, a pastoral firm that had holdings in several states. He attended Kew High School before attending Geelong Grammar School and in 1887, Whittingham studied arts at Trinity Hall, Cambridge.〔 He next studied medicine at London University but after three years his studies were interrupted due to the deaths of his father and elder brother and Whittingham headed back to Australia to look after the family's business interests.〔
In 1901, Whittingham was sent to manage Alice Downs, a property near Blackall that his father and brother, John had taken up in 1878. Along with another brother, Harold, he bought the property in 1903 and in 1909, after buying out Harold's interest, became sole owner of the run. He had stocked the property with 80,000 Merino sheep but land resumptions of the property to meet the increasing nearby population led to purchasing several more properties in Central Queensland.
