Whybirds Removals
was established by John Whybird in Ipswich in 1857 in unusual circumstances. John was
working as a drayman for a firm of merchants named Hassel & Hogg when the business
closed down. In lieu of wages, John was given a horse and dray and commenced working as a
"for hire" drayman in general transport and the occasional furniture removal or
"shifting job". Thus the Whybird family transport and removal business was born.
The business was carried on by members of the Whybird family including Harry, his sons
Jack and Harry Jnr, then Alan on his return from service in Borneo and in 1984, his son
Royston took over the business.
Royston
sold the Whybirds Removals business to Tony & Majella Oro
and Frank & Dianne Aspinall in December 1997. The business is
run by the Oro and Aspinall families today in conjunction with their
A & R Removals business with branches in Townsville and Cairns.
