Aboriginal Children from Central Australia

Childhood in traditional Aboriginal communities is a time of learning and play, as everywhere else in the world. It is a safe place to grow up, with plenty of fresh air, nature to explore, small rivers and "billabongs" (small lakes) to swim in and bush foods to taste.

These are children from the desert, the traditional communities of the Warlpiri, Arrarnta (or Arrernte) and Pintubi-Loritja peoples. As children everywhere, they are happy and friendly and thoroughly enjoy life in the bush.
