About Kunawarritji
Kunawarritji (Well 33) was established in the early 1980s by a group of Martu people from Punmu. It is located approx 810Km (mostly unsealed) south-east of Port Hedland. The current population is made up primarily of Martu people, consisting of approximately 115 people. As the community is of cultural significance to all Martu people in the western desert, the population can increase up to 1000 during cultural business.
Punmu and Parnngurr are the other large Western Desert communities situated 165 km and 230 km west of Kunawarritji respectively. The Kunawarritji community frequently interacts with these and other communities in the area.
Fuel (diesel and Opal) and a wide range of supplies are available from the store.
