Overview

Mid West bushranger Frank Thomas grew up on Jun Jun Farm in Coorow, where he became an accomplished horseman and excellent bushman. He assisted his father and elder brother Jack on the farm and is said to have known every inch of the country around Coorow and Marchagee. In young adulthood he left home and worked as a Kangaroo Hunter in the Murchison.

This artwork is part of the '10863 Bushranger presented by Act-Belong-Commit' exhibition, which has been shown at The Bank Gallery in Carnamah, Fremantle Prison, Old Geraldton Gaol, Greenough Museum & Gardens, on the big screen in Perth's Yagan Square and online at www.frankthomas.com.au
