Early life and career

David Gordon Kirkpatrick was born in Nulla Nulla Creek west of Kempsey, New South Wales, on June 13th. The son of a cattle farmer was born on June 13th. "Homewood," his childhood home, has survived and is now heritage listed. Gordon was identified by his middle name. In 1937, he wrote his first song, "The Way the Cowboy Dies," and then changed the stage name "Slim Dusty" in 1938 at age 11. Jimmie Rodgers, New Zealander Tex Morton, and Australia's own Buddy Williams were among his early musical influences. Dusty wrote "When the Rain Tumbles Down in July" in 1945 and became his first record that year at the age of 19. He signed his first recording contract with Columbia Graphophone for the Regal Zonophone brand in 1946.

Well known in the music industry as a skilled guitarist and producer, Moffatt worked with some of Australia's biggest pop and rock stars. 

Slim Dusty's estate is worth incredible sum twenty years after the Australian county music legend's death

He was the first Australian music star to score an international hit record and went on to sell 7million albums in a career that spanned five decades. And twenty years after the death of Slim Dusty, the empire built by the music icon is said to be worth an estimated $5million. The boy from Kempsey on the New South Wales mid coast, who died at age 76 in 2003, set up a company called The Slim Dusty Group in 1973. 

In a large outback Aboriginal enclave, the 'father of land rights' tells how native title has regressed and that hundreds of millions of dollars invested in the remote area have made no difference

Fraser is one of fewer than 2,000 Indigenous land owners to have held freehold over ten thousand square kilometres of Central Australia for the past 42 years. He does not claim himself the king of land rights in South Australia's remote north west, but that is what he is. Fraser was one of the main catalysts behind the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Land Rights Act, but he regrets some of the things that have happened since. ' The young people aren't concerned with land rights,' he says. They just care about the Centrelink.' Fraser is shown left at Kenmore Park Anangu School and right as a child on the nearby Ernabella mission.
