About the Author

Pat Lowe was born and grew up in England but dreamed of migrating to Australia, which she did in 1972. She worked as a teacher in Africa and as a prison psychologist in Australia, but writing has always been her passion. She met Jimmy Pike in 1979 and a few years later set up camp with him in the desert. What followed was a collaboration with Jimmy on a number of books. She now spends her time in Broome.

The late Jimmy Pike (Kurnti) was a Walmajarri man. He was born in the Great Sandy Desert in about 1940, a member of the last generation that grew up in a semi-nomadic family. He became a skilled hunter. He moved to Cherrabun Station with other fringe-dwellers when he was still a boy, and later became a stockman. After many years working on cattle stations, and several more in prison, he took up painting and within a few years established an international reputation as an artist. He travelled widely for exhibitions of his paintings.
