New Billabong Brings Splash of Life
IT SEEMS like a strange thing - a new water park in a remote NT community.
And among the steel houses and dust, the splash of bright colours stands out like the proverbials on a camp dog.
The small water park opened yesterday at Hodgson Downs, a 550-strong Aboriginal community about 60km south east of Mataranka. In Alawa Kriol it's called Wadabirr Billa Pul - the goanna billabong.
