Jim and Natalie Watson
Church life has changed a lot for Jim and Natalie Watson since they arrived in Kununurra in 2004. Long term members of the church in are uncommon. Between 60 and 80 people turn up to services each week, many of whom are tourists. Jim works two days at the local school among at-risk students and three days at the local TAFE. Through these contexts he has been able to share his faith and now has a pastoral role in the lives of many young adults in Kununurra.

Kununurra
Kununurra is a mining and agricultural town in North West Australia. In land size the Kununurra Parish is larger than Victoria. Official figures are hard to pin down as mining makes for a fluid population but according to the 2006 Census, 3748 people lived in the urban centre of Kununurra, 25 percent of whom were children. The Census also suggested a quarter of Kununurra’s residents were Indigenous. Many of the Christian programs in the area have an Indigenous focus.
