abstract:Nabalco, (North Australian Bauxite and Alumina Company) was a mining and extraction company set up in 1964 to exploit the mineral reserves (bauxite) of the Gove Peninsula, Australia. It was renamed Alcan Gove Pty Ltd in 2002.
Mr Djerrkura's home in north-eastern Arnhem Land was the site of Australia's first land-rights campaign in 1963, when a collection of clans known as the Yolngu sent a petition written on bark to Canberra, the Australian capital, objecting to the mining of bauxite on their land by Nabalco, a Swiss-Australian company.
