The R.M.Williams Company was founded and established in 1932 by Australian legend, Reginald Murray RM Williams AO, CMG. In the early 1930s, It was at this time that RM met a thin, wiry and colourful character by the name of Dollar Mick. RM was camped out in South Australia's Gammon Ranges where he was barely making a living for his young family, sinking wells and doing odd jobs on surrounding stations. His fortunes turned when Dollar Mick arrived at his campsite, driving a dilapidated buggy drawn by two mules. There was an age gap of almost 30 years between the two men but they built up an incredible rapport.
