Galiwin'ku
Galiwin'ku is a Yolŋu community of approximately 2500 people located on Elcho Island, 150 kilometres west of Nhulunbuy and is approximately a one hour flight.
The Galiwin'ku community was established in 1942 as a refuge from possible bombing of the Milingimbi Royal Australian Air Force Base during World War II. A mission was established in the Galiwin'ku community in 1947.
Galiwin'ku is the main community on Elcho Island, located at the southern end of the Wessel Island group and is home to Elcho Island Arts.
A permit is required from the Northern Land Council to visit this community.
