Groote Eylandt
Named “Great Island” by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1644, the island has been home to the Anindilyakwa Aboriginal people for hundreds of years.
Surrounding the island is a marine environment with fabulous reef systems and rich recreational fisheries. Over 50 different species are caught in the pristine waters surrounding Groote Eylandt. The fishing anywhere in ‘the Gulf’ at any time of year is amongst the best in the world.
