Ngandji

Ngandji is another name recorded for the Gudanji, an Aboriginal people of northern Australia. Their country has been described as extending towards the headwaters of the McArthur River and south towards the Barkly Tableland. Seasonal water, woodland and open ground formed a landscape in which communities maintained connections to particular places and travelled between them.

In the wider northern interior, relationships among neighbouring peoples joined places through exchange, ceremony and visiting. Knowledge of water and changing seasons shaped movement across the country. These connections and responsibilities formed part of an Indigenous history long preceding the expansion of pastoral settlement into northern Australia.
