Morndi Munro talks with Daisy Angajit, Weeda Nyanulla, Campbell Allenbar and Banjo Woorunmurra

Conversations with Aboriginal stockmen and women.

From the Kimberley region of Western Australia comes the moving life story of Morndi Munro, his two wives and his workmates. Morndi ran stations and cared for his land, but he was unceremoniously dumped when he got too old.

Senior lawman, Billy Munro ‘was born raw in the bush at Hawkestone Peak, in a cattle yard between Kimberley Downs and Napier’ in the far northwest of Western Australia. Munro’s father is Tommy Munro and his bush name is Linyit. His mother was Mary Anne Munro and her bush name is Nurguworla. Munro’s bush name was Morndi and he refers to himself as the saltwater mirage who came to his father as a vision calling out to his father ‘I’m, Morndingali’. Munro worked and lived all his life on cattle stations.
