Robert Martin Collins
Robert Martin Collins (17 December 1843 – 18 August 1913) was an explorer, grazier, member of both the Queensland Legislative Council and the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
==Early life==
Collins was born in December 1843 at Sydney, New South Wales, to John Collins and his wife Anne (née Martin).〔(Collins, Robert Martin (1843–1913) ) – ''Australian Dictionary of Biography''. Retrieved 30 March 2015.〕 A year after he was born, his family moved to the Logan district of Queensland to take shares in ''Mundoolun'', a property that a friend of his father had taken up.〔 Collins was educated at St John's School in Brisbane and later boarded at Calder House School, Sydney.〔
In 1863, Collins joined his father and brother, William to form ''John Collins & Sons'' and for the next ten years he divided his time between Mundoolun and ''Westgrove'', another property his father had purchased in 1863. In 1873, and hearing accounts of the country out west, he set out to inspect it for himself, the trip taking three months and taking him as far as Diamantina. This was but the first of many expeditions he made out west, making him known as an authority on Western Queensland.
In 1877, his family, along with Thomas McIlwraith, William Forrest, and Englishman, Sir William Ingram joined together to form the North Australian Pastoral Company. The company owned large tracts of land in both Queensland and South Australia as well as Alexandria Station in the Northern Territory and Collins and his brother made regular trips to inspect and purchase land.
