Muckaty Station, located in the Northern Territory (postcode 0862), is a remote Aboriginal pastoral station approximately 120 kilometers north of Tennant Creek. It is traditionally owned by the Ngapa, Milwayi, and Yapa Yapa Indigenous groups and has significant cultural and spiritual importance. Muckaty Station gained national attention in the mid-2000s due to proposals to establish a radioactive waste disposal facility on the land, sparking debates over environmental concerns and Indigenous land rights. The area is sparsely populated, with a focus on maintaining traditional Indigenous practices and connections to the land. Its remote location and cultural heritage make it a unique and important part of Australia's Northern Territory.
