Plenty of aborigines up in the area as well, which is great to see, but its cringeworthy tokenism to do it in Sydney, Melbourne, etc where 240 years of mass migration, population growth, property development, etc has diluted any chance of aboriginals affording property in most of those suburbs, let alone even seeing any.

it the Gibb River Road out of Derby, Western Australia, and you find yourself heading towards the northern Kimberley plateau, a breathtaking landscape of sandstone ranges, rivers and boab-dotted savannah country. About 63,000 sq km of this land is Wilinggin country of the Ngarinyin people and their connection to country dates back 60,000 years.
