A bit more research on John Dawkins during a moment of curiosity that I thought I'd share with you.

Being that Bill Hambly Clark Snr had a gunstore in Adelaide and Dawkins bought his Rigby 450 double from a gunstore in Adelaide I put the question to Bill Hambly Clark Jnr as to whether Dawkins bought his double from his father’s gunstore his response was:

"I do remember John Dawkins, but only from when I was a youngster. He may have bought the double from Dad, but I have no knowledge of that.

John Taylor stayed at our house for a month or so when we lived at Norwood to finish a book - I don't know which one. I would have been in 1st year high school I recon.

Dawkins had a farming property down in the south east of South Australia, and I remember going there with Dad on a few occasions."
