Harry "Buck" Williams[1][2] was born on 16 August 1927 on the Erambie Mission just outside the town of Cowra, New South Wales.
[1][2] Wilga Munro was born in Tamworth, New South Wales in 1940[5] or 1943,[8][9] into a musical family, with four brothers and two sisters.
She joined the Royal Australian Air Force at the age of 19,[10] serving from 1959 to early 1960s, before returning to Tamworth and started performing.
He heard her sing and on the same night asked her to join the band as bass guitar player, which he taught her to play.
The Country Outcasts embraced a number of young artists during the seventies so the performance line-up often varied.
Some of the other band members included Ray "Buster" Thomas, Bill Brunswick, Debbie Williams, Ian "Ocker" McKie, Carole Fraser, Ian "Bear" Johnson and his sisters Roslyn and Janice Johnson, Henry Thorpe, Laurie Ingram, Claude "Candy" Williams (Harry's brother), Mac Silva and Auriel Andrew.
[3][18][19] In 1978, Reg Poole, Merv Lowry, and Denis Payne created the Checkerboard Country Road Show, with the intention of having black and white Australians work together for a common cause.
[3] They moved to Canberra in 1981, from where they continued to organise their performances as well as run talent contests to encourage more young Aboriginal musicians.
[3] After Harry's death in 1991, Wilga continued to perform at various special events, such as the Deadly Awards and health promotions.
