Who was Jim Paddon?

James Paddon, known as "Jim", was the second Australian after World War I to win the professional World Sculling Championship. Before the war seven other Australians had held the title.

Paddon was a professional sculler but unlike many of the earlier Champions he did not need to rely on sculling income to maintain his life-style. He was a successful Evans Head businessman who had interests in oyster leases, fishing, sub-leasing, farming, and tourism.
