  • Ben Murray (Parlku-Nguyu-Thangka Yiwarna )
    ABORIGINAL HISTORY 1988 12:2 114 BEN MURRAY (PARLKU-NGUYU-THANGKA YIWARNA ) Peter Austin, Luise Hercus and Philip Jones Introduction According to the records he himself meticulously kept, Ben Murray was bom near Marree, northern South Australia, in 1891 to an Aboriginal mother and a Baluchistani (Afghan) father. Today Ben is the oldest resident of Amewarra Old People's Home in Port Augusta, in retirement after a long and eventful working life.1 In days when the emphasis is often placed on communities and spokespersons, Ben Murray is something totally different: a rugged individualist who stood in a unique and solitary position to Aboriginal society, to Afghan society, and to the white missionaries, station owners and managers for whom he worked. Ben is a strong person, both physically and mentally; he did not like compromises and hated injustice. This is evident not only from the events of his life that he recounted to us, but also from the comments of his friends and acquaintances. When Luise Hercus first met him in 1965 an event occurred which illustrates his attitudes perfectly. A station in the area had appointed a manager who was an alcoholic. The manager's young wife was just recovering from the birth of her second baby. There was a mid-January heatwave and a major drought was on; sheep were getting bogged in muddy dams and dying pitifully in their hundreds. The people on the other stations in the area were busy saving their own sheep, so the young wife sought help from Ben. He came at once.
