ARTHUR FLEMING

1899–1976

Joined the Tasmanian Police Force in 1932, worked in the Central Highlands and was transferred to Parratah where he carried out various policing duties. In 1941 he was seconded to the Fisheries and Fauna Department, working in remote areas on angling and other issues. In 1951 he was employed by the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Commission (later the Inland Fisheries Commission) as a Field Supervisor, and spent his working life in the Highlands chasing poachers and managing regulations. A true bushman, he was fair to all and gained respect amongst all he met.
