History & geography

History

Imintji, meaning "the place to sit down" in the Ngarinyin language, was first proposed as a community settlement area in the 1950s. It became a central "tablelands" outstation made up of many family members working at the nearby Mount Hart, Mount House and Mount Barnett Stations. It also developed into an important stop-over place and roadhouse facility alongside the Gibb River Road in the 1960s. The roadhouse closed in March 2015, then re-opened in May 2016.
