Town camps in NT more than housing for First Nations communities

Aboriginal Town Camps are more than just housing. It’s culture and connection.  

The Northern Territory has around 43 Aboriginal Town Camps, most around Mparntwe / Alice Springs, where First Nations communities from remote areas visit or stay.  

A project with CAAMA Radio Network is connecting with community in the Town Camps through radio, amplifying their voices across the NT.
