John grew up the middle child in a family of seven. When he joined the RAAF, life in the airman's single quarters was pretty good but one evening, at a party in Katherine, a dark-haired woman caught his eye and almost two decades on, John has his own story about big family.

SPUN: True Stories Told in the Territory is a live storytelling event that showcases some of the extraordinary people and stories that make up the Northern Territory. Popping up at different venues across Darwin, working with a range of partner organisations with a different theme each time, SPUN brings to light stories from diverse backgrounds.

John's story was told at our event at the 2017 Darwin Festival where the theme was HOME.
