This Katherine icon is a sculpture of a stockman and horse recognising the invaluable contribution by rural and regional communities to Australia’s national identity. The Stockmen had a vital role in the history of the Northern Territory. Sabu Peter Sing was the role model for the Katherine icon. Sabu’s outstanding skills as bushman, horseman, stockman and cattleman were widely recognised and acclaimed. Born of the Wardaman tribe, Sabu epitomised different races and cultures. Sabu Sing was born at Delamere station in 1940, the son of a Chinese father and Wardaman Aboriginal mother.
