May aswell make home and away a crime seriesā¦ like look at the past 10 years. May aswell flag any beach scenes and intros with happy people and swimmers and surfers in it cos the show hardly represents that now. Hasnāt for ages.
So Home and Away gets a Maori family living in the bay before they ever get an Indigenous Australian family as regulars?

Do many indigenous families live in a coastal town?

Just asking.
Canāt say Iāve ever seen any indigenous families in a coastal town.
Itās not about what youāve seen. I dare say there would be more indigenous Australian families in coastal towns in Australia than Maori ones.
Anyway, shows like Home and Away have very little diversity in their regular cast, so maybe they should be applauded for introducing any family with a different culture.
