I grew up on Wandangula outstation, and Sandridge outstation near Borroloola. When I was younger, I was always out bush in the mustering camps, my grandfather’s country. My grandmother and grandfather had a small station with cattle and horses … and a lemon tree. I want to dedicate these paintings to Billy Kid, dad’s father’s cousin and my Dad Stewart Hoosan and Danny Mc Dinny my grandfather. My uncle Gordon Rory; Myra’s husband and Linda's husband Freddy Rory. They all worked on the station together mustering when I was younger … I almost forgot about the McDinny girls, my mum and aunties. They tailed the cattle and rode the
horses and bring the bullocks to the mob. Other stations I grew up on were Warkukarli, Wurngkuwar (Fletcher River), Marruwarra, Lumarnyar (Poison Creek), Wandangula Lagoon, Ardala Lagoon, and Hunting Ground, Wardalumba Plain, Wurburlarbar.
