A day at the local swimming pool is akin to a day at the beach. The town pool entertains children and teenagers from multifarious Aboriginal language groups and traditional communities (bush mob)-Yuendumu, Papunya, Kintore (north-west) Utopia (north-east), Ernabella, Fregon, Amata (south), for instance. Yirara, the local Aboriginal boarding school whose students are frequent visitors to the pool, houses students from the Pitjantjatjarra lands (south) and other surrounding communities, as well as those from Darwin, Top End (Arnhem Land), Katherine, and Tennant Creek (north). Local Aboriginal kids (town mob) represent a demographic cross-section that includes town camps, housing estates, town flats, and immediate traditional lands situated on the outskirts of Alice Springs, such as Jay Creek (west) and Amoonguna (east).
