Summary

View of Priscilla Hubert's home at Betts Corner Homeland, Ceduna. The photographer describes the homeland, "Betts Corner homeland was the last homeland to be built around the Ceduna region with ATSIC money and as result it is a very basic settlement. The day I visited Priscilla Hubert's house with Shelly I was very fortunate to be invited into her house for a cup of tea and make some images of the children. On average there is fifteen people living in this three bedroom house and when extended family and friends come to visit this can swell to thirty people. Once inside the house I found it to be very clean and orderly, all the children played beautifully together, Priscilla took me into the main bedroom where the kids were all watching Video Hits on TV and dancing. This was an amazing experience and I found it very rewarding to make images of this family group and give them some photographs to hang on their walls. An hour before going to Betts Corner I was two kilometers down the road at the Ceduna MotorX track where the South Australian State Titles were being held. The contract between the children at Betts Corner and the children at the track was stark. The kids at the track were dressed in the latest gear, riding motorbikes worth thousands of dollars, and their parents were camping in upmarket caravans towed by the latest 4WD's."
