Married Dalby, Queensland - 4 April 1892

Sabina McNAMARA married August FONTAINE son of a French immigrant at the presbytery of St. Joseph's Church Dalby, Queensland on 4 April 1892.

Sabina had turned nineteen just one month before the wedding. The couple left Jandowae after a family feud and headed for North Queensland where Gus eked out a living as a kangaroo shooter and part time prospector.

After a decade of wandering Gus gave up the nomadic life, settled his growing family at Kelsey Creek near Proserpine and turned his hand to sugar cane farming.
