Captain John Louie Goldie arrived in Broome in 1912 as a pearl cleaner, valuer and buyer. He fought at Gallipoli, and spent time in England recuperating from war wounds. In 1916, he married Doris Sprang, daughter of Fred Sprang, senior partner in C. E. Heinke & Co, manufacturers of diving suits and hard hats. On their return to Perth they brought the first decompression chamber for Broome, which Fred Sprang had donated on behalf of the company. Louis Goldie successfully pearled in Broome, and was a member of the Road Board 1928-1939. His family lived in England for several years in the 1930s, before returning to WA for boarding school in Perth. Louis and Doris Goldie retired to Cottesloe after being evacuated from Broome during World War Two, and Louis died in 1950, aged 62.
