1950s Robert Edward Calnin - Breaking in a 2 year old

Robert Edward Calnin, born in 1929, was the the eldest (along with his twin brother John) of the children born to Maurice Calnin. He was a great grandson of Patrick Carrucan and Mary O'Brien. He became a policeman, served in the Bundoora Mounted Branch and then at Buchan. Riding a horse was essential for policing in the rugged mountain country of that area. When he retired, he took up farming at Buchan. He and his wife Betty had 2 children, Dale and Robyn. He died in 2010.
