This fascinating biography of an inspiring and inspired Australian has been researched by his son Jack Hoadley, who was seeking the father that he lost when only thirteen years of age. He unfolds the story of a man of enormous fortitude, energy, compassion and wisdom who changed the lives of countless people with his commitment to education, scouting and community. When Arch Hoadley, already an Antarctic explorer with Mawson, accepted the position of foundation principal of the Footscray Technical School in 1916, he began a lifelong commitment as a citizen of Footscray, providing inspirational and courageous leadership in several spheres of influence over the next three decades.
