    Abstract

    This chapter examines the capacity of the Australian mining industry to provide livelihoods for the Aboriginal people of mine hinterlands. It uses a case study of the Century Mine in the Gulf of Carpentaria region of northwest Queensland to illustrate certain dilemmas confronting developers, governments and Aboriginal people themselves around gaining sustainable livelihoods through engagement with the mining industry.
