In an accompanying biography McLaren writes: 'Yellow Billy was a bushranger in the 1860s who, depending on the sources, worked the territory between Wiseman's Ferry northwest of Sydney, and as far north as past Tamworth. The yellow in his name refers to his mixed aboriginal and European (and perhaps Chinese) ancestry. He was a prominent figure in the oral history of the area around Cessnock when I was growing up there in the 1970s'.
