EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photo showcases the remote and untouched beauty of Bickerton Island, located 13 km west of Groote Eylandt in eastern Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. Spanning approximately 21 by 21 kilometres, this island is a hidden gem with its deep bays, intricate indentations, and sprawling landscape covering an area of 215 square kilometres. In the heart of the image lies Bickerton Island Airport, serving as a vital connection point for the Aboriginal community of Milyakburra. Established in 1975 on the eastern side of South Bay, this close-knit community finds solace amidst nature's embrace. The airport acts as a gateway to their home and symbolizes their resilience and determination. Bickerton Island holds great significance as privately owned Aboriginal land. The Anindiyakwa Land Council in Angurugu on Groote Eylandt represents the landowners who cherish this sacred place deeply rooted in their culture and heritage. Locally known as Amakalyuwakba among residents, it stands as a testament to their strong connection with the land. Photographed by Mangiwau from Australian Views, this print captures not only breathtaking scenery but also serves as a reminder that there are still untouched corners waiting to be explored. It invites viewers to appreciate the raw beauty found within our world's most remote locations while acknowledging and respecting Indigenous ownership and stewardship over these lands.
