Default Indigenous Communities

Been searching for community information regarding the Indigenous in Western Australia, but the information does not really hit the nail on the head.
So, i wondered if anyone here works in these communities or have information regarding them.

This guy works in an indigenous community



A Wyndham policeman plans to return to work in the Kimberley community despite his face being shattered when he was bashed with a rock as he tried to break up a drunken brawl early on Christmas Day.

Look, we can't have it both ways now can we? It's either boring and nothing happens here or it's mayhem city.

Well it could always be much the same as any other city in the world - a bit of everything, it just depends on your viewpoint as to what you see

I personally have never seen any trouble here. Others have and I hear about it on the news. I'm also not bored here although again, others are.

It's funny, people go on and on about how wonderful Vancouver is or Toronto. My experiences of both cities was that they are awful places to live. Like you said, it just depends on your viewpoint as to what you see.
