If you get a chance you have got to watch the new ABC series of Mystery Road set in WA. It is interesting in that most of episodes, the screenplay writers are first nations people, must be a first. Here is a wiki entry for one of the screen writers:
Kodie Bedford was born in Western Australia of the Djaru and Gija people on her father's side and Irish and English on her mother's. She grew in Geraldton in the Pilbara region, and has strong family links in the East Kimberley region. An only child, she grew up with lots of cousins around her. She wanted to be a screenwriter from when she was a teenager, being a great fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and credits storytelling with "saving her life". Her maternal grandmother, Valda Osborn, who loved Tolkien and Charles Dickens was also a great influence in her choice of writing as a career.
