Amoonguna

6 km²

Few places in the Territory have a gap from the national average as wide as Amoonguna. This small community is defined by a strong cultural identity, where most First Nations residents speak a traditional language. While the area is very car-dependent for basic needs, it is set up for families with almost every home within walking distance of a school and a park. It remains a place of significant challenge, with typical incomes and education levels sitting far below the national figures.
