EARNEST MITCHELL
Ernie is a Barkindji man, born in Wentworth NSW. From an early age Earnie spent time in the bush with his family, in particular his grandpatents, hunting, listening to their stories, speaking their language and learning their ‘old ways’. After years of mustering and odd jobs, Earnie began working as a guide at Lake Mungo National Park. His knowledge
of the environment and the fascinating history of the region, makes Earnie a natural storyteller, and he has set many
of these stories to music. Earnie has a CD and a sketched book of his song Mungo Lady for sale.
He can also be contacted to sing his music and tell his stories in person.
