Tiwi Islands
TIWI ISLANDS ACTIVITIES AND TRAVEL | Tiwi Islands Information
The Tiwi Islands consist of Bathurst Island and
Melville Island. Both islands are situated approximately 80km
north of Darwin and
are home to the Tiwi Aboriginal people.
In 1911 Nguiu, which is the main settlement on
Bathurst Island was founded as a Catholic mission. There are tours
over to Nguiu from Darwin which includes your flights, visit to
several catholic missions and the unique burial grounds with carved
wooden headstones, swimming, tea and lots more. Bathurst Island
is also where the majority of the Tiwi live, heading back to Melville
only once a year for a few weeks. The main settlements on Melville
Island are Milikapiti and Pularumpi, and a visit to Melville is
incorporated into many tours to the islands. A tour is probably the best way to see the islands and you don't
have to worry about permits.
