Tommy Ningebong: Bushman, Tracker, Drover, Stockman and Pastoralist

WEST AUSTRALIANA Indigenous Aboriginal Agriculture

“Bushman, tracker, drover, stockman, pastoralist, Aboriginal Ningebong was an extraordinary individual. c1904-1978 he spent most of his life in the wider Wiluna area. He was a favourite of the local people and many are the stories of his solidity and of course his little quirks. This biography places on record his life and peoples appreciation of him. He was the principal witness in the trial of the murderers of trapper Joe Wilkins in 1937 and in a rustling trial in the 1970s. He was one of the first Aboriginals to have his own pastoral Lease.”
