Alick Smith - The Aboriginal Stockman and Pick Up Man

Born in 1931, Alick Smith (Wadhi) is 1 of 16 children raised on the traditional land Barada at Bluff Central Queensland. At just 9 years of age, Alick went to work as a stockman on a cattle station in an era where children worked as hard as the men. Always being on or around horses and handling cattle, this is where Alick grew a love and passion for Campdrafting and Rodeo. Throughout this episode you'll hear Alick's voice from a far in the background. This episode isn't as polished as the others, but it's certainly pure. Passing away at the age on 89, Alick is remembered as a legend. Picked to ride at the Calgary Stampede and being a head stockman at an early age. We get a glimpse of it all.
