Episode 233. Chris & Tim D’Arcy – The Lyndon Legacy [Voices of the Gascoyne]

This episode is part of a mini-series produced for the Gascoyne Catchment’s Group, who have kindly allowed me to share it with you. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did making it.

Welcome to Voices of the Gascoyne, the podcast series where we delve into the remarkable stories of the pastoralists who came before us. These men and women faced their fair share of challenges, from day-to-day aspects of communication, transport, and electricity, to natural disasters, market collapses, and the impacts of government policy. 

In this episode, we speak to Tim and Chris D’Arcy from Lyndon Station.

Tim D’Arcy’s childhood on Lyndon Station was full of adventure and freedom. Accompanied by friends and mentors from the local Aboriginal community, he developed a love of the land and a dream to own his own station one day.

And, with the help of his wife, Tim would make that dream come true several times over. Today, Lyndon Station has been under the care of the D’Arcy family for over 90 years.

To start our conversation, I asked Tim to share the story of how his father came to be on Lyndon.

Voices of the Gascoyne is a Gascoyne Catchments Group project, made possible through support from FRRR’s Helping Regional Communities Prepare for Drought Initiative, funded by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
