Often considered the 'Wild West' of Australia, the Northern Territory has more characters than the Oxford Dictionary. Most of them have never had their story told. Until Now!
Real stories from the Northern Territory, Australia. Hosted by Mother and Daughter duo: Toni Tapp Coutts and Megan Coutts - aka Mum and Me!
Come on a journey, as we delve into the life stories of Territorians, whether born here or not, and hear some fascinating yarns.
We will donate all of our interviews the the Library and Archives of the NT, for their oral history project.
A true Territorian isn't merely a casual observer who enjoys the surroundings; they're the ones who forge a deep connection to the land. They establish their presence, nurture their families, and invest in the future of the Territory. Though the coming years may present challenges, a genuine Territorian embraces them with resolve, committed to enduring and prospering. They build legacies that echo through generations, ensuring a brighter tomorrow for their descendants, who will one day honour their foresight and dedication.

This episode comes with all the trigger warnings. He describes his story as a trauma factory - and he did not use that word out of context.
As the final drop for the year, we decided that we would release the interview with no editing of our conversation or anything else within it- I promise we sound checked it a hundred times, so why the Crow Gals are so quiet, we have no idea! Damo wanted everything to be left in, he has chosen to be honest about everything, and we are honouring that. Small caveat - there was some stuff about the previous court cases and accusations thrown at him around his young son, we could not air them so they were cut. So with that, we decided not to edit it as we usually would and just deleted those parts.
Damian (Damo) 'Wildman' Duffy turned 40 this year and it was time for him to tell his story. The man you see on social media has a heavy past but this interview attests to the fact that you can change your story despite the beginning. Damo is living proof of that. He has travelled the globe, made shows for worldwide audiences and gets watched across the world by millions of people. But he has found his home in the beautiful Northern Territory, and we are so thankful he has.
He began his life in NSW, his parents were Bikies and his Father went to the infamous Long Bay jail for his part in the Milperra Massacre - The Father's Day Massacre in 1984. When he was 9, his Mum had a horrific accident that she never recovered from. He became the child that no-one wanted. Bounced around ... until Dad returned.
Damo's Dad joined the Hells Angels and the violence in his early years escalated and became the norm for him. His Dad's death in 2008 left so many unresolved issues for Damo including a lack of love from the people he most needed it from in his life. He became a Paratrooper and walked away from his first born son who he believed didn't deserve him.
We will leave Damo to tell his story as only he can.
We want to thank Damo for being so open and honest - and trusting us with his story! We hope that his story will show you that no matter what you are going through, you can choose to fight for your place of peace and happiness.
Damo deserves all the happiness the world has to offer and we hope he gets it.
