Our Story
Our Country. Our Culture. Our Community.
Our history
Our Beginnings
Jarlmadangah Burru was established in 1987 by Traditional Owners on land associated with Mount Anderson Station.
The establishment of the community represented an important step in creating a place where families could maintain connections to Country and develop community facilities and opportunities for future generations.
Over time, Jarlmadangah Burru has developed community spaces, services and infrastructure supporting everyday life.
Our history reflects the resilience, determination and leadership of the people who helped establish and develop the community.
Our connection
Our Country
The West Kimberley is a region of extraordinary landscapes, cultural heritage and living traditions.
Jarlmadangah Burru is connected to the Country and cultural knowledge of Nyikina and Mangala people.
Country is more than a location. It is connected to identity, family, history, responsibility and the passing of knowledge between generations.
