Mark A Hunter was born in Darwin Northern Territory in 1955 and has lived in what is commonly known as “The Top End” for most of his life.
Songs from the Buffalo Country is an album about fishing, the bush life in old Darwin and ” The Top End” of Australia. It’s a character portrait of the psyche of North Australia from the 1960’s to now, and is Mark A Hunter’s take on it all.
The popular culture, that derived from the multiracial history of the region is expressed in the lyrics and themes of his songs, while the music has a warmth and laid back style of an earlier Darwin. The lyrics will make you smile and the melodies will dance in your mind as you are transported to that place once known as “The Buffalo Country”.
