Geography

Most local government areas are a single contiguous area. However, Aboriginal Shires are often defined as a number of disjoint areas each containing an Indigenous community. In the case of the Aboriginal Shire of Mapoon, there are three areas all within the locality of Mapoon, two to the north and south of the Wenlock River's mouth at the Gulf of Carpentaria and a third further up river.
