In his second career Sam was chief pilot for Connellan Airways in the Northern Territory, pioneering the aerial mail-runs that conquered the tyranny of distance for outback settlements and cattle stations.

In his third career he was a fighting Territory cattle-station manager, battling to save his stock from deadly gidyea poisoning on Argadarga station.

In his fourth career Silent Sam became one of the most successful federal politicians the Northern Territory has ever had. During his fourteen years - from 1966-1980 - in Australia's Federal Parliament, in Canberra.
