AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This essay charts the life of Old Man Wodidj who established his own cattle station in the Top End named Palumpa. This station is not far from the more notorious Wadeye Aboriginal community. The essay goes on to consider the inepitude of government management of Aboriginal communities with a strong focus on the failures of communities such as Wadeye but a lack of recognition of the success of communities such as Palumpa.
