UMBAKUMBA

Umbakumba, located on the northeast coast of Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory (postcode 0822), is a small Indigenous community within the Anindilyakwa Ward of the East Arnhem Region. Established in the 1930s as a mission station, it is home to the Anindilyakwa people, who are the traditional custodians of the land. The community is surrounded by stunning natural beauty, including pristine beaches, rugged cliffs, and dense bushland, making it a place of cultural and environmental significance. While it faces challenges typical of remote Indigenous communities, such as limited access to services, Umbakumba maintains a strong connection to traditional practices and culture. The local economy is supported by mining, fishing, and arts, with the nearby Groote Eylandt Mining Company playing a significant role.
