Arnold Wienholt Hodson

Hodson was in Central Queensland 1900 to 1902 and was part of the Queensland Contingent for South Africa in 1902.

During his tenure, a mountain - Mount Hodson (56°42'S, 27°13'W) - the summit of Visokoi Island in the South Sandwich Islands - was named after him.

One of his journeys, in 1906, was made in the company of Sir Ralph Williams, Resident Commissioner, and was from Serowe to Livingstone and the Victoria Falls via Lake Ngami.

Four years later Hodson organised a hunting trip for High Commissioner Selborne, from Pandamatenga to Selous' old camp on the Mabebe Flats and on to the Chobe.
