Warnindilyakwa

Warnindilyakwa, or Anindilyakwa, country includes Groote Eylandt and Bickerton Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Makassan sailors came from southern Sulawesi to gather and process trepang along these shores. Their praus entered the islands' rock art and Anindilyakwa traditions: on Bickerton, a weathered rock is associated with a vessel said to have been built there by the visitors.
