Jack Venman
John (Jack) Burnett Venman (13 August 1911–29 December 1994) was an Australian best known for deeding 254 acres of farming land to the Shire of Albert for A$1 in 1970. The land is now known as the Venman Bushland National Park. The park is located 40 km south of Brisbane CBD on West Mount Cotton Road, Mount Cotton, Queensland.
==Early life==
Jack was born in Kingaroy, the third child of George and Sarah Venman but only Jack and his sister Everill Annie survived to adulthood. Jack’s father George was an accountant and when the Kingaroy Shire Council was formed in 1912 he became the shire clerk. George died in 1924 and the family moved back to Bundaberg. He attended Brisbane Grammar School on a scholarship.
After leaving school Jack became a station hand on a large sheep station outside Augathella. It was here that he learnt about life on the land. Jack began an apprenticeship with Australian United Steam Navigation (AUSN) as a fitter and turner in 1929. Because it was a restricted occupation Jack was excused from war service.
