Destination Profile - Patjarr Community, Gibson Desert, Western Australia
The aboriginal community of Patjarr is located 600 kilometres west of Uluru. Patjarr is one of Australia's most remote communities, located on the edge of the Gibson Desert in the far east of Western Australia. Kayili Artists is the community owned enterprise for the Ngaanyatjarra people of Patjarr.
During the 1960's, the Patjarr people were relocated to Warburton due to missile testing in the area, returning to both their traditional lands and customs in the 1980s. Their paintings and crafts have since gained national and international recognition and value, and it was proposed that a purpose built facility alongside the existing airstrip would best suit the needs of both the community and their increasing number of visitors.
Here you may purchase Aboriginal art that is not available elsewhere.
