Le Hunte - Elliston Western

Western and Le Hunte - Elliston are two very different rural areas located over 500km apart. Western is a sparsely populated area where 51.5% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and a huge 88.6% speak a First Nations language. In contrast, Le Hunte - Elliston has a much smaller First Nations population of 3.2% and far fewer people using a First Nations language.
