About Wadeye (Port Keats)

Wadeye is the NT's largest remote Aboriginal community and home to one of Australia's largest concentrations of Aboriginal people. The Murrinh-patha language is the lingua franca, and the community has a strong Catholic identity alongside traditional law. Wadeye was one of the first communities to negotiate self-management agreements.
