Burringurrah Community, Indigenous settlement in Upper Gascoyne, Western Australia.
Burringurrah Community is an Indigenous settlement in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. The community occupies a vast area of land with pastoral landscape and natural features in a remote part of the state.
The community was established in 1987 and gained incorporation status in 1999 following its separation from a neighboring pastoral lease. This development was part of a broader movement toward self-management and autonomy for communities in the region.
The settlement operates within the Wajarri Yamatji native title claim area, maintaining traditional connections to the land through Indigenous ranger programs.
Access to this community is restricted and requires prior authorization from the relevant authorities. Visitors should inquire beforehand and be aware that only authorized persons can enter.
The area sits near Mount Augustus and close to two major rivers that converge nearby. This geographic location has long shaped the settlement as a significant place.
