Dudley Forbes by Dudley Forbes
Dudley Forbes was born in Katherine, but grew up at a small outstation named Emu Springs near Daly River / Nauiyu. He lived in Bulman and Gapuwiyak in South East Arnhem Land before moving to Minyerri after meeting his now wife Rowena. They have two girls, and a new baby boy together. Dudley works as a driver for the Health Clinic in Minyerri. “I play footy, go hunting (turkey, bullock), fishing mainly – that’s my fun!” Dudley’s father was an artist and inspired Dudley to develop an interest in art. Dudley speaks Yolgnu Matha, Rambarrnga, and Kriol.
