When the ABC wanted to know how East Arnhem Land dealt with the recent power outages, they came to us. abc.net.au/news/2020-10-12/t…
'Pretty drastic': Telstra and NBN outages hit thousands across NT

'Pretty drastic': Telstra and NBN outages hit thousands across NT

Fire and rain have been blamed for vast areas of the remote Northern Territory being left without phone and internet services, in some cases for as long as five days.

Sorry, that's "Yow Bukmak"
Yaw Bukmak Just wanted to give you an update after the events that took place over the weekend. While phone and limited internet service was restored yesterday, the NBN, which runs Yolŋu Radio was not. The NBN was restored at 12pm today and Yolŋu Radio is now back on the air.

Yow bukmak After the weekend's Telstra issues, phones and Internet are working again in North East Arnhem Land. However, Yolŋu Radio is still not working properly. You are listening to CAAMA Radio on 88.9FM until we fix the problem. Yolngu Radio will be back on air soon.

What an incredible achievement and emotional story. Two amazing sisters who were last active speakers of the Indigenous language Umpithamu, helped create a Dictionary of Umpithamu to preserve the language before they passed away. bit.ly/308C17P

Amazing evening last night watching 🎥 @HighGroundFilm for its Australian premiere in Gunbalanya, NT. The story of a violent chapter of colonial history filmed around Western Arnhem Land & mostly at Cannon Hill. Good to see my wawa Witiyana Marika who features in the film 🎞❤️✊🏾 – at Gunbalanya (Oenpelli), Northern Territory

Rocket tracker hauled 3,000km through outback to 'ancestral home' in NT

The efforts of a small but vocal group of Northern Territory historical enthusiasts in Arnhem Land saves a space race relic from the scrap heap, but only after a 3,000km journey across Australia.

Hello again walal, it looks like Telstra is working again. Mak you can try to call your gurruṯu now.
Yow bukmak, Telstra is down in Arnhem Land. We don't know the whole story, but Telstra is fixing the problem. Maybe phones, internet & radio will be working again tonight. Until then, we can't call family & they can't call us use internet. We'll tell you when we hear anything.
