About Gunyangara
Gunyangara is an Aboriginal community on the Gove Peninsula in north-east Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, on Melville Bay about 13 kilometres west of Nhulunbuy. The community stands on Gumatj land belonging to the Yunupingu, Burarrwanga and Munungirritj clan groups, and was established in the late 1970s when Gumatj families moved from Yirrkala to take up their traditional country. Set on a small island joined to the mainland by a causeway, Gunyangara has a community store, school and health clinic and is home to a few hundred residents.
