C.1930 - deceased

Henry Wambiny was born in a cave which the family sometimes used on Old Tickalara Station,  just south of Turkey Creek and west of the Bungle Bungles. They were given blankets, tea and tucker for catching dingoes, they presented the ears as proof of the catch.

As a young man, Henry was a very adept horseman, and worked the cattle for contract musterers on many of the East Kimberley pastoral leases, including the old Tickalara and Bungle Bungles stations, as well as Spring Creek, Mabel Downs, Bow River, Texas Downs and Lissadell.

Henry injured his right arm, paralysing it in a truck accident and successfully embraced the challenge of painting with his left hand.

Henry spent his last years not far from his beloved country, at the tiny community of Frog Hollow.
