Beswick Tindal

Tindal and Beswick are two distinct communities in the Northern Territory, separated by about 79 km. Beswick is a predominantly First Nations community, where 95% of residents identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 98.6% speak a First Nations language. In contrast, Tindal has a much smaller First Nations population at 4.4% and a very high proportion of people who have served in the Defence Force (62.3%). This is reflected in the typical weekly personal income, which is far higher in Tindal at $1,513 compared to $251 in Beswick.

Both areas share a car-dependent walkability score and have almost identical proportions of children under 15. However, the gap in educational attainment remains wide, with 69.8% of residents in Tindal completing Year 12 compared to 16.6% in Beswick. This divide in schooling and income continues to mark the two areas as very different places to live.
