  • My Mother Found Me in Alice Springs
    THE MAN WHO EXPLODED WITH FIRE AND GRACE Wally McArthur 22 February 2019 A top athlete denied a chance to compete for Olympic Gold, Wally McArthur lived at “The Bungalow” in Alice Springs before being evacuated to NSW during WW2. After the war he went to St Francis House in Adelaide, became a rugby star in England and was a member of the Aboriginal rugby league team of the century. Wally McArthur was a rising sprinting champion in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Wally McArthur was an inspiration. His younger cousin John Moriarty, who was taken from the same Borroloola area of the Northern Territory, has said, “He could have been one of the world’s great athletes. He just exploded with fire and grace.” “He was a leader. He looked after us younger kids. He was such a humble compassionate person. Wally set a standard for us, as to what could be achieved in sport.” Born in 1933 McArthur’s father was a policeman named Langdon, but the authorities, who registered many of these births, gave him the name of McArthur, after the river at Borroloola. McArthur recalled his removal from his family in a 1998 interview with John Pilger, “It was a government car, because only the government had cars at that time. The driver put me in the front seat with him and he drove around while I waved at my family. I have never seen them since, you know. They were sitting around the camp fire. They didn't understand what was happening.” In a 1999 interview with Peter Hackett for The Advertiser McArthur said, “I don’t feel angry about it.
