Greg Riley, the psychic who won THE ONE and who always stays at The Hughenden was on a mission to discover The Hughenden stories.
He found Dr Harrison Quaife who brought the first x-ray to the colony and was a founding father of the British Medical Association and Astronomical Association in Australia.
The Morning Show on Channel 7 was filming Greg and the Australian Paranormal Phenomenon Investigator team as they investigated.
Fred (as the cheeky media personality Todd McKenny called him – Todd’s always a joker) – was much loved, like his father Barzillai Quaife – Australia’s first philosopher.
Fred and Barzillai both lived on Queen Street Woollahra in Sydney and influenced what Australia would become.
Barzillai Quaife wrote:-
‘Men may be foreigners but they are
men. They may be uncivilised but they
are yet men. They may be savages
but they still are men. One nation may
not oppress another. The natural rights
of man are universally the same ….” Barzillai Quaife 1872
