Herbert Schlink (1883-1962), gynaecologist and hospital administrator, was born at Wodonga, Victoria, seventh child of German parents who had migrated to Australia in 1858. He studied medicine at the University of Sydney and graduated in 1907. He joined the staff of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital as a Junior Resident Medical Officer and within three years was appointed Medical Superintendent. In 1913 he was appointed Honorary Junior Gynaecological Surgeon. In 1908 he had joined the Australian Army Medical Corps reserve and in 1915 took up duties as officer in charge of medical arrangements at the Liverpool military camp. He was later removed from the camp owing to his German parentage. In 1922 he became Honorary Gynaecological Surgeon to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. Schlink was a keen skier and in 1926 made the first winter crossing from Kiandra to Kosciusko. He was a foundation member and long-term president of the Kosciusko Alpine Club..
