Cherbourg Aboriginal Settlement c1938
A view of Cherbourg c.1938. Following the major building phase of the 1920s and early 1930s, the layout of contemporary Cherbourg has emerged.
Changes to the settlement landscape clearly define the enlarged administration area at the bottom of the photograph and the Aboriginal domain or Camp at the top. It is notable that the shelters the people have made themselves in the Camp are disappearing as more people are moved into the cottages.
