Angurugu is a remote community located on Groote Eylandt, in the Gulf of Carpentaria...The Anindilyakwa people came to Groote Eylandt on song lines which created the land, rivers, animals and people and named everything about the region. Angurugu was an important meeting place for Groote Eylandt clans and people coming from the mainland for ceremonies.
The first European settlement on the island was the Emerald River Mission,13 km south of Angurugu, in 1921. Angurugu began as an Anglican Church Missionary Society station in 1943, as the Royal Australian Air Force needed to use the Emerald River Mission airstrip. By the 1950s almost all the clans living on the west of the island had settled at Angurugu.
By mid-2018, the ALC in partnership with the Federal Government will have built three cultural enterprise hubs, complete with multimedia areas, offices, as well as places for cultural display and workshops, both indoors and out. Interactive technologies and media will enable our young people to immerse themselves within the emerging digital economies, in an educated and sophisticated manner. Performance spaces and music studios will support budding artists, while enabling traditional dance and song to be recorded and passed on to selected aficionados.
