Robert Trimbole - Early Life

Early Life

Trimbole was born on 19 March 1931 to Italian parents who migrated from the southern Italian region of Calabria. In 1952, Trimbole married Joan Quested in Sydney then moved to his parents' house in Griffith, New South Wales. After several months Robert and Joan moved into their own rented property and raised their four children.

He rented a nearby garage and operated his own panel beating and spray painting business before declaring himself bankrupt in 1968 with debts of A$11,000. Shortly after, his business was mysteriously destroyed by fire, and all records were lost.
