Battye Library of West Australian History. Bill Withers was born in Sydney on 8 August 1931 , and educated at Kogarah Primary School and Sydney Technical High School. In 1948 he joined the Royal Australian Air Force as an engineering apprentice. He subsequently obtained qualifications in air navigation, and during the early 1950s served in the Pacific and Malaya. In 1957 he accepted an appointment as a commissioned officer with the Aircraft Research and Development Unit for CSIRO, and in November that year navigated the first light aircraft delivery crossing of the Pacific. Although he enjoyed his work with the CSIRO, Bill became eager for new challenges, and in late 1963 he and his wife Judith decided to move to Kununurra, Western Australia, after entering into a business partnership prompted by the expanding Ord River Irrigation Scheme. Between 1964 and 1971 Bill established several businesses in Kununurra, including a general store, service station, jewellers, and a newsagency.
