Yolŋu Land Could Launch Satellites
Documents obtained by The Weekend Australian reveal that the Northern Land Council will shortly begin consulting traditional owners and other locals about plans to lease a site in Arnhem Land to Equatorial Launch Australia, a firm that wants to blast off small satellites.
The land on the Gove Peninsula belongs to Galarrwuy Yunupingu’s Gumatj clan, and is close to the site known as Gulkula that is used for the Garma Festival.
