Born in 1931, Alick Smith (Wadhi) is 1 of 16 children raised on the traditional land Barada at Bluff Central Queensland.
At just 9 years of age, Alick went to work as a stockman on a cattle station in an era where children worked as hard as the men. Always being on or around horses and handling cattle, this is where Alick grew a love and passion for Campdrafting and Rodeo.
