Hunting Sticks - John Watson is Broome based now, originally from Mount Anderson station born in the bush. From sheep country, a lot of old people I was saying we shouldn’t die, all the things we learnt. We have lots of knowledge. Darraga was born in the bush so no known birth date. When he went for his drivers license they gave him the date of 1940 but his siblings say he was born before that. John built the derby jetty and half of derby.
