Aborigines villages

Over our drive on the Great Central Road, we had the opportunity to cross several towns in which aborigines represent roughly 80% of the population.
We have heard about the tragic reality of the aborigines peoples in Australian history but we, as foreigners, had never had the occasion to sight it, until recently.
The level of poverty we saw in those towns, especially in our first stop, Dock River, was truly beyond imagination for the persons who know the level of development in Australia.
We first were intrigued to see ironed gates around petrol pumps in stations. Actually it is to keep away some people who are addicted to sniff petrol. The supermarket was barricaded and looked more like a remote convenient store in China countryside than the fully automated Coles and Woolworth we used to in Australian cities.
People themselves were dirtier, lost, wandering in the streets with crossbreed dogs.
We get used to Australian remote villages since the start of our trip. Few people, everything close by 5pm.This was definitely up to another scale.
We didn't take pictures, first because it was not allowed, second as a respect toward those people. However we will let you have a look at this picture we took briefly leaving Dock River.
