GEMCO - The Groote Eylandt Mining Company Pty Ltd - Manganews Issue 7 September 08

Groote Eylandt is culturally and musically diverse, a result of the strong social and other ties to nearby mainland and more distant groups. The people of Groote Eylandt refer to themselves as Wanindiljaugwa, their language is Anindiljaugwa, and there are something like 12 local descent groups who identify with or are affiliated with Groote Eylandt and the adjacent Bickerton Island.
