  • Trivia
    He lived most of his life in the Western Desert at a place called Kintore or Wallangurru. He was a very interesting chap and his nose was pierced between the nostrils, hence the name Nosepeg. He would walk into my store grab a straw and stick it through his nose and parade around like that very pleased with himself.
