Biographies

JOHNSON, JACK ('MOOLBONG') (c.1868-1943), Aboriginal 'clever man' and song-maker, was born about 1868 and was a Kaliyarrkiyalung—a Wiradjuri man 'from the Lachlan River' in western New South Wales. Jack was removed from his family and sent to Moolbong and was also named after that pastoral station in the Willandra region. He became a skilled stockman, but was lamed by a fall from a horse. Living among and respected by the Ngiyampaa people whose country was to the north of Willandra Creek, he was nicknamed Kiitya. In 1926 the Aborigines Protection Board assembled the Ngiyampaa at Carowra Tank Aboriginal Station, near Ivanhoe, before moving them in 1933 to a new station at Menindee. Moolbong spoke Ngiyampaa (the Wangaaypuwan variety) and Paakantji, as well as Wiradjuri. He spent his last years in Wiradjuri territory, based with his son's family at 'the Bend', the 'mission' near Condobolin.
