Born in Scotland, David Rust emigrated as a young man and enlisted in the 10th Light Horse Regiment when Australia entered the Great War. On his return from service overseas, he worked in the pastoral industry before taking on his own cattle station, Karunjie - which adjoins Durack River Station to the East and sits Southwest of Home Valley Station.
