GURINDJI

Gurindji, located in the Northern Territory (postcode 0852), is a small, remote Aboriginal community situated approximately 460 kilometers southwest of Katherine. It is historically significant as the home of the Gurindji people, who played a pivotal role in the Australian Indigenous land rights movement with the **Wave Hill Walk-Off** in 1966, a landmark event that led to the eventual return of traditional lands to the Gurindji people. The area is characterised by its rugged outback landscape, rich cultural heritage, and strong connection to Indigenous traditions and land stewardship. Today, Gurindji remains a close-knit community focused on preserving its cultural identity and way of life amidst the challenges of remote living.
