1 About Kalkarindji and Daguragu
Kalkarindji (formerly Wave Hill, also spelt
Kalkaringi) is a small township in Northern
Territory, located on the Buntine Highway
approximately 460km southwest of Katherine.
Daguragu is located approximately 8km
northwest of Kalkarindji, adjacent to Wattie
Creek.
Kalkarindji and the nearby settlement of Daguragu are the
population centres of the land formerly held under the
Wave Hill Cattle Station. In 1966, the Indigenous station
workers, led by Vincent Lingiari, staged a walk-off in
protest against oppressive labour practices. Following
this, much of the land was returned to the Gurindji people
by the station owners and the Australian Government in
1975.
Daguragu is famous for helping to pave the way for
Indigenous land rights in Australia. Kalkarindji and
Daguragu are on the traditional homelands of the Gurindji
people, and these communities are linked to the Malgnin,
Mudpurra, Bilinara, Ngarinman and Warlpiri peoples.
The community currently supports a number of successful business enterprises, including a meat
works, store and caravan park. The community is well-serviced in relation to government services
and infrastructure, including access to health, education, and utilities. Permits are not required to
visit.

As part of the Local Government reforms in the Northern Territory, the Victoria Daly Regional

comprises of five indigenous communities and surrounding outstations; Kalkarindji/Daguragu,
Nauiyu/Daly River, Pine Creek, Timber Creek and Yarralin. Latest data indicates total population
estimates are approximately 4,500. Victoria Daly Regional Council encourages community
members to nominate for their Local Authority in order to have a say about issues relevant to their
Local Authority areas.
The Guidelines concerning how Local Authorities function are set by the Northern Territory
Government via the Local Government Act and Guideline 8 and these and other relevant Local
Authority documents are available at: victoriadaly.nt.gov.au/local-authorities

Land tenure
The Wave Hill walk-off had paved the way for the NT Land Rights Act which became law in 1975.
In the same year the Gurindji people bought the pastoral lease. After the Northern Territory
Government threatened to resume the lease, the Gurindji lodged a land rights claim. In 1986 they
gained freehold title to the waterhole on Wattie Creek Daguragu.
May 2014 saw the Federal Court make determination of Native Title over the Township of
Kalkarindji in favour of Traditional Owners. Gurindji Aboriginal Corporation is the Prescribed Body
Corporate. In partnership with the Northern Territory Government new housing and commercial
blocks have been created to reduce overcrowding and support economic growth through the
Kalkarindji Land Subdivision.
1.6.1
Kalkarindji
Kalkarindji consists of a mix of freehold and leasehold land and is not under the Aboriginal Land
Rights Act (Northern Territory). There are three types of land tenure in Kalkarindji:



1.6.2
Vacant Crown land
Government land set aside for “Territory Housing” but no title issued; or (Crowned)
Freehold title owned by the Victoria Daly Regional Council.
Daguragu
Daguragu is Aboriginal Freehold Land (Commonwealth Title held by Aboriginal Land Trust). The
Traditional Owners have not yet agreed to a long term lease for remote community housing. The
Australia Government formally withdrew its 40 year housing proposal on 13 November 2014.
Northern Territory Government infrastructure leases are currently in place within Daguragu.
1.7
Planning a community visit
The Northern Territory’s remote communities are so diverse that it’s crucial to learn about them
and get prepared before you visit. They range in size from large towns to very small outstations.
Road conditions vary from sealed highways to rough bush tracks. Resources for visitors are limited
so make sure you are organised and take what you need with you.
There are regional differences in language, culture, social structures, politics, authority of land
owners and clan elders. Understanding and respect for these different ways is critical to successful
work in these contexts. The NTG have put together a number of resources to help you plan a
successful visit.

4 Arts and culture
4.1
Karungkarni Arts and Culture
Established in 2011, Karungkarni Art Centre is located in the old powerhouse building at the
entrance to Kalkarindji, Buntine Highway. The name Karungkarni refers to the Child Dreaming
place for Gurindji people, a sacred site imbued with procreative powers. The powerful name
Karungkarni alludes to the strong desire of the Gurindji people to pass on their artistic, cultural and
historical knowledge to their children. In doing so the art centre supports the production and sale of
artwork by the local artists, and preserves language through its language centre, Gurindji Jarrakap.
Karungkarni is also home to a collection of heritage memorabilia, historical photographs and
archival films, which portray the history and culture of the Gurindji people. In particular, there is
information about the iconic political stand against oppression and for Aboriginal land rights for
which the Gurindji people are renowned: the 1966 Wave Hill Walk Off.
DEPARTMENT OF TRADE, BUSINESS AND INNOVATION
Updated: February 2017, Version 1
Page 8 of 17
Kalkarindji / Daguragu Business Directory
Artworks from Karungkarni exhibit a uniquely fine dot style of painting with rich colour. The
paintings typically are based on the traditional designs of the region and include themes related to
resources such as bush food and bush medicine as well as Dreaming stories, which have been
passed down to the artists from their ancestors. The senior artists also make a highly prized range
of hand carved wooden artefacts including coolamons, boomerang and nullanulla.
Opening hours are 9am to 4pm from Monday to Friday. A permit is not required to visit the art
centre in Kalkarindji however visitors are advised to phone prior to visiting, as the centre may be
closed for cultural reasons or when artists are attending events elsewhere.
