Larry grew up on a small cattle property south east of Charters Towers, Queensland and after war service and becoming a stockman, he developed his Wild West Shows.
During his famous travels which have taken in every state, Larry has personally entertained a paying public by cracking whips, trick shooting, tent boxing, rough riding and as a bush story teller. It was a tour of around 40 years that heralded the end of an era of the bush showman.
