Hello,
The name of the electrician who wired up most people homes, businesses and dairies in Maleny in the 1940’s was Jack Sallaway. Not Callaway.
I can’t remember him being at the Up Front Club as I remember George Gibson building the shop next door which became an electrical repair shop. Jack later build a shop with his residence on top in Coral St. The building seems to be a residence now, with the shop unused. It’s where Coral St runs into Wootha Rd, where all the construction is happening now in Coral St.
Thanks,
Desley
