Graham and Roger Clarke are brothers born in the 1960s in rural New South Wales. Both have extensive experience in Aboriginal cultural tourism operations at Lake Mungo National Park. Graham's ancestral lands cover four nations bordering Wentworth, NSW border and Mildura. Graham grew up with cousins in outback Wilcannia by the River. Roger Clarke was born in Hillston. His ancestry goes back to the Darling River people. Both brothers were taken away as young children and put in a boy’s home - they identify as being from the Stolen generation. Roger returned home around 2000 where he became employed in cultural tourism with Harry Nanya Tours operating in Lake Mungo National Park.
