Maybe in the Northern Territory, parts of Western Australia and maybe Perth. But never where I was from not in everyday local life and not in the state of QLD. There are some tourist educational/cultural centres and galleries, which we were taken to as schoolkids but the council and government itself is more like trying to get the community to integrate with city standards and not embrace their cultural heritage.
I lived in Melbourne, for a while where that mural was painted, and to be honest, you rarely see a single Indigenous Australian - prob cause as you say there's not as much natural landscape for them (and being chucked out). They're more apparent in Sydney but, again, not integrated. It's not fun having others impose their standards on you and the Indigenous Australians are very proud and very angry. Of course, as you have shown through some imagery there are efforts to respect and bring about awareness around their culture and Indigenous Australians as a whole would be going through the grieving and healing and possibly even rebuilding process after one our of prime ministers, Kevin Rudd, acknowledged and apologised for the Stolen Generation in 2008.

Sorry for so many links to tell the picture story, hope it is allowed (plus I don't even know if I narrate the story accurately).
