$75,000 a week goes on grog
ABORIGINAL residents in remote Northern Territory western desert communities are withdrawing as much as $100,000 a week from cash machines and spending three-quarters of it on alcohol, according to evidence given to the Territory's Licensing Commission. ...
.....The bulk of the cash spent on alcohol by residents of Kalkaringi, which has a population of about 750, comes from mining royalty payments.

not sure where the royalty payments come from, but wave hill is pretty significant in australian history - and formed the basis of the song "from little things, big things grow"
