In this episode of Deadly Discussions, we sit with Uncle Ken Jones, a proud Boandik Elder and legendary cultural educator behind Bush Adventures, based out in the beautiful Limestone Coast.

Uncle Ken shares stories of growing up on Country, learning from the land, and teaching the next generation through foraging, fishing, and the old songlines of the Boandik seasons.

He also brings forward a legacy many people have never heard — the remarkable story of his grandfather, William Charles Westbury, a Boandik man who served in the Boer War and World War I. Partly responsible for the iconic photo, a young roo named Shake by the Egyptian Pyramids.

This yarn is one of courage, resilience, and recognition, echoing through Uncle Ken’s own life’s work and ancestry.
