OVERALL, Mary-Jane 2019
The author knew Jean Meskens aka Buffalo Johnny personally. Initially, she considered him to be just another quirky outback character until she researched his background.
Buffalo Johnny's exotic zoo was located in Batchelor, 100 kms south of Darwin. The zoo was very controversial and was criticised for its animal management. This is a moving biography of a Territory identity.
The Historical Society of the Northern Territory acknowledges the Larrakia people, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which History House stands, and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea, and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
