Blue Douglas - the ballroom dancer, business owner and long time local legend


Listen Later

Where do you even begin with a guy like Blue Douglas? He's lived in the region since he was 12 months old - and he certainly has some stories to tell!
In this conversation Blue shares with us what it was like growing up in Nhulunbuy back in the 70's. The adventures - which include him being a makeshift bird handler on the set of a movie and escaping grumpy buffaloes. He speaks about his ballroom dancing career and how he ran the debutante ball for years - countless teenagers in town have him to thank for learning The Pride of Erin. He also shares with us the story behind meeting the love of his life - Evelyn.
He has been an important member of the Nhulunbuy community and one this is for sure - he LOVES this region.
So sit back, relax and enjoy a true Blue yarn by one of our local legends.
