Kowanyama
KOWANYAMA is situated on the beautiful unique region of the Mitchell River delta.
The country consists mainly of wetlands and delta mangroves in the north, extending to forest country of the central peninsula.
Kowanyama means “place of many waters” in the Yir Yoront language. The community includes the Kokoberra, Yir Yoront [or Kokomenjen] and Kunjen clans, who each have language and other cultural differences.
Kowanyama is not situated on any tourist drive as such, therefore, jobs are often limited & the transport of food & necessities makes it expensive to purchase ammenities.
