He was born in Gilgandra in New South Wales to Cyril Allan Dudley Eaton and Mary Catherine, née O'Donohue. He attended Dobies Bight State School and St Mary's Convent in Casino. In 1931 he married Shirley Daw Boothman; they would have four children, but Shirley died of leukaemia shortly after their fourth child's birth. Eaton worked as a labourer, fencer, timber cutter, stationhand and machinery operator, and from 1963 he was the leading hand of a live-line gang with the Far North Queensland Electricity Board.[1] In 1980, Eaton was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly as the Labor member for Mourilyan. In 1983 he was promoted to the front bench as Opposition Spokesman for Water Resources and Maritime Services, and upon Labor's victory in 1989 he became Minister for Land Management.[1] His seat was abolished in 1992 and largely merged with the neighbouring National-held seat of Hinchinbrook. The merged seat was notionally Labor-held, but Eaton lost a close contest to National's Marc Rowell.[2] Eaton died in 2011 in Cairns.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | last = Queensland Parliament | first = | authorlink = Queensland Parliament | coauthors = | title = Eaton, Andrew George (Bill) | work = | publisher = | year = 2012 | url = http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/database | doi = | accessdate = 24 November 2013 | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20131006110637/http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/database | archivedate = 6 October 2013 | df = dmy-all }} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-qld}}{{s-bef|before=Vicky Kippin}}{{s-ttl|title=Member for Mourilyan | years=1980–1992}}{{s-non|reason=Abolished}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Eaton, Bill}}2. ^[[http://www.abc.net.au/elections/qld/2009/guide/hinc.htm Hinchinbrook] (Antony Green, ABC) 5 : 1931 births|2011 deaths|Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly|People from New South Wales|Australian Labor Party members of the Parliament of Queensland |
