| Summary: |
In the course of a couple of years the township of Fitzroy Crossing in the remote Kimberley changed from a tiny frontier outpost, to a refugee camp with hundreds of people living in fringe camps in third world conditions. From this maelstrom a unique community emerged, with a strong ethos of cooperation and support amongst the various peoples of the Fitzroy Valley. The town continues to defy Western logic in its ability to remain a 3,500 strong and resolute network of familes that survive and flourish in remote and regional Australia. |
