Extract from his Obituary:
“In early manhood Mr Wilkinson sustained serious injuries through a fall from his horse, the result being that he suffered a permanent deafness, which, however, did not affect his naturally cheerful and hopeful outlook on life.
Deceased during and prior to the breaking out of the western gold fields (Turon, etc.) was engaged in carrying pursuits, and had his share of the toils and adventures incidental to carrying in those expanding years, both from Penrith to the diggings, and up and down to Sydney, which at the period (40 to 50 years ago), was itself in the developmental stage, as regards the great “accelerations” of progress that have since matured. He remembered the days prior to the railways when the “Punt” was one of the institutions of the Nepean. Mr Wilkinson had all the born Australian's love of horses, and broke in many of his own teams and saddle horses.”
