Alyangula is a small, remote suburb located on Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory, Australia, approximately 650 kilometers east of Darwin. Established in the 1960s to support the nearby manganese mining operations, it is primarily a company town managed by Gemco, a subsidiary of South32. The community is tightly-knit, with a mix of mining employees, contractors, and Indigenous Anindilyakwa people, who are the traditional custodians of the land. Alyangula offers basic amenities, including a school, health clinic, and recreational facilities, but its isolated location means limited access to larger services. The area is known for its rich Indigenous culture, pristine natural environment, and significant mining industry contributions.
