Product Details

OVERALL, Mary-Jane 2019

The author knew Jean Meskens aka Buffalo Johnny personally. Initially, she considered him to be just another quirky outback character until she researched his background.

Buffalo Johnny's exotic zoo was located in Batchelor, 100 kms south of Darwin. The zoo was very controversial and was criticised for its animal management. This is a moving biography of a Territory identity.
