Laynhapuy was established in the 1970s to represent Yolngu interests and residents of Homelands. Laynhapuy provides health, housing and land and sea management services and support to around 30 remote Yolngu homelands in North East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. The organisation’s main base is in Yirrkala around 20km from the mining town of Nhulunbuy. The Laynhapuy Homelands are situated between a 1 and 4-hour drive from Yirrkala. The vision for Laynhapuy is: “to determine our own future to manage our own affairs, to become self-sufficient so that the homeland mala (clans) can continue to live in peace and harmony”. We are aiming to host day tours to the homelands. It will combine a cultural experience, education on historical events and appreciation of living and managing homelands. Groups of 5-8 people would be escorted by traditional owners and Laynha rangers, guides. In addition, we will be supporting local tourism operators in selling their tours, camp grounds etc.
