When your community is located hundreds of kilometres from the nearest population centre there is often little point in relying on services from elsewhere to achieve improvement. With this in mind Areyonga has chosen to employ their own people rather than engage outside contractors for community projects.

pioneer museum recording Indigenous and Non Indigenous history of the area.
