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 a champion buckjumper and stockman.

Arch was a true bush legend and his spirit lives on in this iconic Australian event.

Join us and come and live the experience of the KING OF THE RANGES in Murrurundi.
