5.32 Location of Aborigines
Gale (1972:100-102) in her survey carried out in 1966, showed
Aborigines scattered throughout the city, with three focal points:
the city itself, Pt. Adelaide/Angle Park/Taperoo, and the satellite
cities of Elizabeth and Salisbury. In the first two cases large,
old, low-rental houses attracted groups of Aborigines. In the
Elizabeth/Salisbury area, housing trust low rental houses were
available in which multiple tenancy was not encouraged. These
restrictions on occupancy made possible a life-style based on
single family units, differing from the older established housing
areas where kin groups lived in sub-standard housing.
