Episode 26 - The Kimberley Ringer

Geoff Allen has been around. As a ringer in the 50s and 60s, it was his job to tame wild horses and drove massive herds of cattle throughout the outback country. His tale is full of humour, hard work, mateship, and death, and gives an insight into a nearly-forgotten time. Produced by Mic Cavazzini Music by Louis Edward Thorne (EMI Production Music - “The Swamp Sessions”), Nicolaj Sune Block (EMI Production Music - “Cinematic Deep South”), and Blue Dot Sessions (“Cast in Wicker”) Thanks to Dave Goldie, Pat, Donna, Bjorn, Ai Leen, Taib, Sandra, Kevin, Emma, and the Human/Ordinary team. Here are links to Geoff’s books: Bull Catchers & Wild Riding Ringers Outlaws of the Kimberley Underworld The Gun Ringer Ballads of the Kimberley & Other Wild Places There’s a lot of background and further information to Geoff’s story. It makes for some fascinating and, at times, difficult reading. Check out the links below.
