BiographyHistory

Roy McIvor is a Guugu Yimithirr man, the son of Rachel and Paddy McIvor. His father was from Binthi Country and his mother was from the Longreach area. He contributed to the art and stories of Cooktown's Milbi Wall. The wall contains several hundred hand painted tiles that record the Aboriginal history of the region since the arrival of non-Aboriginal people. McIvor grew up in Cape Bedford Mission until the community was evacuated during World War II and taken to Woorabinda.
