Paul Filewood,
aka THE THARGOMINDAH MAN

My name is Paul Filewood, I have been a keen entomologist and naturalist, and spent a long time working with the Queensland Museum, where I have taken part in several expeditions collecting wildlife, insects and other specimens.

One day when I was collecting, I returned back to camp when one of the Curators said here comes the Thargomindah Man. I asked him why he called me that. He said because I was such a good collector and knew the bush so well, and I would come back from collecting so dirty, he thought I looked part white and black man which reminded him of a man he met at Thargomindah. This name has stuck with me today!
