Papunya is an indigenous settlement 240km north-west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, Australia. Papunya is on aboriginal land and a permit is required to visit. Papunya was established by the Australian government in the mid 1950a as an administrative center for the Aboriginal people who had moved in from the desert. Current population of Papunya is approximately 300.
