Darby__In a Life Time__Julia RITCHIE
Darby McCarthy life is mixed with triumphs then there were scandals, disasters and injustices that plagued his racing career and reputation, and indeed nearly cost him his life.
To return from those dark places, to become a role model, Darby does his part in advancing the breakdown of barriers between Aboriginal people and white Australians.
Olympian, Cathy Freeman, freely acknowledges Darby as a key mentor in her teenage years in the 1980s, as he was rebuilding his own life.
Through Darby McCarthy life, on his own merit and his incredible riding ability he was able to travel the world meet the most incredible people, and become a legend.
Born In the sand hills outside of Cunnamulla in Western Queensland at “The YUMBA” aboriginal Camp.
He was the tenth (10) of thirteen (13) children.
It was a very different time then.
Born black in a known racist town wasn’t a great start to life for Richard Laurance McCarthy.
But this little fella would not let that deter him.
He was about to take the world… by storm.
His name would become legendary
He was to become the best in his chosen field.
He would travel the world.
Meet the most unlikely of people.
As an Australian Aboriginal of that time this was a remarkable feat, he became an inspiration for all who were interested in his journey.
Being Aboriginal in the 1950’s and 1960’s, and even today the cards were stacked against him.
Through Darby McCarthy life, on his own merit and his incredible riding ability he was able to travel the world meet the most incredible people, and become a legend.
