[Margaret Pilkington]

One of the most frightening things that happened to me while I was in Oz was driving into a totally aboriginal village(by mistake) and finding that there was only one road out....and that was the road we went into the village on.
The houses had had their doors ripped off and there were mattresses and piles of lager cans in the gardens.
Apparently the houses had been built with the aboriginals in mind, but not taking into consideration that the aboriginals will not live in house when someone has died there...preferring to sleep on a mattress in the garden.
I think some Aussies pay a lot of lip service to aboriginal culture and art without taking it very seriously.
