Archie "Bung" McInnes
The inspiration for the challenge.
Archie was known throughout the Hunter Valley and
Northwest Region of NSW as "King of the Ranges" for his ability
to
track and catch wild brumbies and cattle in the ranges around "Glenrock
Station" east of Scone.
At the outbreak of WWI Arch joined the 1st
Battalion Light Horse, was seriously wounded at the battle of Beersheba
and decorated with the Military Medal. He returned after the
war and continued his life as champion buckjumper and stockman.
Arch was a true bush legend and his spirit lives
on in this iconic Australian event.
