Gillies had the reputation of being shrewd and hardheaded, but he does not appear to have tried to check the extravagance of the time, and must take his share of the blame for the long period of depression that began in the early eighteen-nineties.
Gillies was educated at local schools and in 1882 went with his parents to the Richmond River country.
Gillies was a good type of politician, honest and hardworking, who did sound work for his party and his country.
