No way to liveThe Weekend Australian Magazine

EMBARGO FOR TWAM 22 JUL 2023. FEE MAY APPLY. Steven Camfoo, 58, in the tin house he calls home in Drive-in Camp, named after the long-since-shuttered drive-in cinema nearby in Tennant Creek. Camfoo has lived here around ten years, because, he says, he would have to wait 5-6 years for availability in Tennant Creek. The tin sheds in Drive in Camp were disconnected from water, electricity and rubbish collection services at the beginning of the Federal governmentÃ¢â¬â¢s Ã¢â¬ÅInterventionÃ¢â¬Â, yet, because of housing shortages, many tin sheds like this Ã¢â¬â leaky in the rain, cold in the winter and scorching hot in the summer Ã¢â¬â are still inhabited by long-term residents. Camfoo collects water in plastic containers pushed in a babyÃ¢â¬â¢s stroller. Photo by: Andrew Quilty
