"A Visitor's Guide: Recreation Areas - North East Arnhem Land" published by Dhimurru is an excellent booklet that provides maps and cultural information including stories narrated by Yolngu elders explaining the significance of many locations.

The Visitors Guide can be purchased from Dhimurru, local art centres, or the local Newsagent.

Here is an extract from the book:

All Yolngu people in north eastern Arnhem Land belong to one of two basic divisions, or moieties, called Dhuwa and Yirritja. Children belong to the same moiety as their father; their mother belongs to the other moiety. Everything in the Yolngu universe - Spirit Beings, plant and animal species, clan groups, areas of land and water are either Dhuwa or Yirritja. The Djang'kawu Sisters, the morning star, the water goanna, the stringybark tree, and the land in and around Yirrkala are Dhuwa, while such things as the evening star, stingray, cycad palm, and members of the Manggalili clan are all Yirritja.

Within each moiety, people belong to smaller groups called clans, each having its own language. Children belong to their father's clan (and moiety), while their mother belongs to another clan (of the other moiety). In the Gove Penninsula and the surrounding area, most Yolngu belong to one of sixteen clans, of which eight are Dhuwa and eight are Yirritja.

Clan members own areas of land and waters in common. The relationship is, however, much more complex than just 'owning', or even 'caring for', the land. Yolngu often say that they 'come from' the land, or that they 'are the land' - a difficult concept for non-Aboriginal people to grasp. How can it be explained?
