Product Details

FARRAM, Steven 2009

Bob Lindon arrived in the Territory to drill water for cattle stations and Sydney city girl, Mavis joined him later. Mavis quickly learnt to live in a tent and the skills needed as a driller’s offsider. The Lindon’s later managed the Renner Springs Roadhouse and founded the local racing club. Their own racehorse Wood won the Darwin Cup in four consecutive years 1959-1962 – a record never beaten. Bob returned to water drilling until his death in 1985.
