He was an elder of the Gunditjmara and Bundjalung tribes, a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and a supporter of Indigenous Australians’ rights. Ruby Hunter was a vocalist who was both his wife and musical companion (1955–2010). Taken the Children Away was a track from Roach’s 1990 first album Charcoal Lane. An incredibly successful artistic career that included nine studio albums, a soundtrack (2002’s The Tracker), multiple live albums, and compilations was established, defined, and to some extent overshadowed by the song.
