About Jarlmadangah Burru

Jarlmadangah Burru is an Aboriginal community in the Shire of Derby-West Kimberley of the West Kimberley region in Western Australia, located about 86 kilometres southeast of Derby in the Grant Ranges near the Fitzroy River. Established in 1987 by traditional owners when the community land was excised from Mt Anderson Station, the site was chosen because activity there would not compromise culture and heritage sites. The community maintains a close association with Mt Anderson Station and sits within the Nyikina Mangala Indigenous Land Use Agreement area, with Nyikina and Mangala as the main language groups and the Nyikina Mangala Community School catering for about 35 students.
