Location map Northern Territory lat deg 23 lat min 13 lon deg 131 lon min 54 caption Location of Papunya Papunya is a small Indigenous Australian community of about 299 people roughly 240 km northwest of Alice Springs, Northern Territory Alice Springs in the Northern Territory , Australia . It is now home to a number of displaced Aboriginal people mainly from the Pintupi and Luritja tribes. Papunya is on restricted Aboriginal land and requires a permit to enter or travel through. The predominant religion at Papunya is Lutheranism , with 258 members or 86.3 of the population, based on the 2006 census. History Pintupi and Luritja people were forced off their traditional country in the 1930s and moved into Hermannsburg, Northern Territory Hermannsburg and Haasts Bluff, Northern Territory Haasts Bluff where there were government ration depots. There were often tragic confrontations between these people, with their nomadic hunter gathering lifestyle, and the cattlemen who were moving into the country and over using the limited water supplies of the region for their cattle. The Australian government built a water bore and some basic housing at Papunya in the 1950s to provide room for the increasing populations of people in the already established Aboriginal communities and reserves. The community grew to over a thousand people in the early 1970s and was plagued by poor living conditions, health problems, and tensions between various tribal and linguistic groups. These festering problems led many people, especially the Pintupi, to move further west closer to their traditional country. After settling in a series of outstations, with little or no support from the government, the new community of Kintore, Northern Territory Kintore was established about 250 km west of Papunya in the early 1980s. During the 1970s a striking new art style emerged in Papunya, which by the 1980s began to attract national and then international attention as a significant contemporary Indigenous Au ... more details
Newhaven Reserve lies 363 kilometres north west of Alice Springs at the junction of three distinct ecoregion bioregions the Great Sandy Desert , MacDonnell Ranges and Burt Plain in the Northern Territory of Australia . It was established when Newhaven Station, a pastoral cattle grazing property in the arid zone of the Northern Territory was purchased by Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union Birds Australia in December 2000 in order to conserve its outstanding natural values. At 2,622 square kilometres in area, Newhaven is five times the size of Birds Australia s other reserve, Gluepot Reserve Gluepot , in South Australia . Newhaven s landforms include parallel dunes , salt lakes , claypan s, plains and rocky hills . Vegetation includes grassland s, woodland s and shrubland s, which can be subdivided into ten distinct vegetation communities, with over 100 species of plants recorded. Several threatened species of birds and other animals have been recorded on Newhaven. These include the Grey Falcon , Night Parrot , Princess Parrot , Striated Grasswren , Grey Honeyeater , Mulgara , Black flanked Rock wallaby , Greater Bilby , Marsupial Mole and Great Desert Skink . Newhaven is surrounded by Indigenous Australians Aboriginal lands. People from the Warlpiri , Luritja and Anmatyerre language groups have a traditional association with the area. Aboriginal sacred sites have been identified on the property. In December 2005 Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union Birds Australia signed an agreement with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy AWC that saw AWC assume ownership and day to day financial responsibility for Newhaven, while allowing for Birds Australia to have long term involvement in the management of the reserve, Birds Australia members to have access, and ensuring the conservation of the flora and fauna.
