Old Tim Rakuwurlma is the grandfather of John Moriarty (q.v.).

In Listening to Country, Ros Moriarty says: 'Old Tim Rakuwurlma, after whom we named our first baby, and who remembered life in the bush well before white men came, announced our little boy's name would be 'Baniyan, cheeky brown snake'. He sang the Baniyan songs which our baby would belong to, and the women cuddled and carried Tim from place to place.'
