Guda Guda Community - WA

Guda Guda is a small Aboriginal community, located on Great Northern Highway, in the Nine Mile Area of the Kimberley region township of Wyndham, Western Australia, approximately 10 kilometres south-east of the town centre. History: Guda Guda was initially a stopover on the droving track to Wyndham meatworks and Wyndham port. Cattle were mustered from Doon Doon Station, Bow River and Gibb River. Drovers came from Maple Downs, Gurranji, Lissadel station and Home Valley station to the Wyndham meatworks, which closed in 1989.In the 1950s and 1960s people who are currently living at the Guda Guda community, used to live in the flat areas on the western side of the current community for a period of at least 20 years. Because of the long period of residence in this area people developed personal histories and affiliations in the region and chose the area where Guda Guda community is now located.
