Ceduna is home to the highest percentage of Aboriginal people in all local government areas of South Australia, standing at 24% of the population...The second image was made at the Ceduna Gym on an all-Indigenous night of Zumba. Sport runs through the veins of most Australians but health problems caused by obesity, alcoholism and drug abuse are on the rise. T.W.T is addressing the issues with a focus on promoting healthy lifestyles to Indigenous community members in the Ceduna area through sport and recreation. It was great to watch as the whole room full of members from Ceduna's Indigenous community laughed, sweated, and in the end groaned their way through a session of Zumba. Everybody left the class with a big, healthy, smile on their face."
