Day Trip. Attack Creek. Bank Bank. Warumungu.
Back in 1860, explorer John McDouall Stuart’s attempt to cross Australia from south to north led to a pivotal encounter with the …Warumungu at what became known as Attack Creek. This meeting, marked by misunderstanding and defense, is a cornerstone in the oral history of the Warumungu.
Fast forward to the 20th century, and we see the Warumungu’s fight for their land rights, culminating in the 1999 legal victory that returned some of their ancestral lands. This part of the story highlights their resilience and legal battles against the odds.
Next Stop Banka Banka
Banka Banka Station holds profound significance for the Warumungu people, marking a place where their traditional lands intersect with modern Australian history.
Established as a cattle station in 1895, it became a symbol of adaptation and continuity for the Warumungu, who worked there under challenging conditions. The station’s history reflects broader themes of displacement, cultural resilience, and the struggle for land rights, culminating in the 2010 purchase by the Australian Government for the indigenous community, affirming their connection to their ancestral lands.
