Djugerari
3 km²
A massive gap in education and income separates Djugerari from the rest of the country. This sparsely populated area is home to 37 First Nations people, many of whom keep their culture strong by speaking a traditional language. However, the community faces significant hardship, with typical incomes and school completion rates far below the national figures. It is a small, remote pocket of the West Kimberley region.
