Find Ancestors

Try contacting the local history group - link above.
Perhaps they'll have access to records not online.

Although if NSW Libraries haven't been able to find anything, don't hold your breath!

Thank you Argyllgran and Malyon it would seem I am not going to get any answers about the accident which eventually killed him perhaps they didn’t keep records in 1916

Yanco
Although part of NSW, the Riverina area
had closer trading ties to Melbourne during
the 1800s. Sydney politicians realised that
they needed to improve access to Sydney
markets for local goods, so the idea of
extending the New South Wales railway
system to the Riverina was born. The town
of Yanco came into being when this railway
line was extended from Narrandera to Hay.
The railway arrived in the area in 1881 and
on the 3rd of March the “Yanko Siding”
railway station was opened.
The purpose of the station was to service
the North Yanko Sheep Station which at that
time was owned by the Douglas family. The
station master and a few railway fettlers
were the only inhabitants.

It wasn’t until the Murrumbidgee Irrigation
Scheme was proposed that the town began
to take shape. The Yanco Experiment farm
was developed in 1908 to show settlers what
could be grown in the area. Government
workshops were established in 1910 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
consisting of a sawmill, timber yard, joinery,
tank making workshop and a Government
Store.

Further down, on that link above, there's a photo of Yanco government Workshop in 1913.

I expect accidents were a frequent occurrence - basic conditions and no "elfnsafety" in those days.

Although I can't find a further article about his death, it could have been due to the injury.

As 100 years have passed, you should be permitted to purchase a copy of his DC.
You'll probably have to repeat the search for the relevant entry.

Have to go, but in the meantime explore Trove, online Australian newspapers.

This link may be relevant. It mentions a serious accident that had paralyzed him. There may be others.

The members of the Yanco
branch of the Manchester Unity
I.O.O.F. intend holding a benefit
concert shortly to raise funds to
assist Mr. Neville Dalley and his
family. Some time ago Mr.
Dalley, who had been employed at
the Yanco workshops, had the
misfortune to meet with a very
severe accident, as a result of which
he has been totally incapacitated.
The members of the Manchester
Unity are deserving of every en
couragement in their proposed
effort, and as the cause is a worthy
and deserving one it is hoped that
residents at this end of the area
will rally- round and give them a
'bumper' house.
