About Nyirripi
Nyirripi is a Warlpiri community in the Southern Tanami Ward of the Central Desert Region of the Northern Territory, about 440 kilometres from Alice Springs. It was established in the late 1970s, when several families left Yuendumu to return to their traditional lands and cleared a 150 kilometre road to the site. Nyirripi grew from an outstation into a fully-fledged community with a school, health clinic and community store, and is situated on the Yunkanjini Aboriginal Land Trust between the Newhaven and Mount Doreen pastoral properties.
