Overview
Wadeye is a town in Australia's Northern Territory (NT). It was formerly known as Port Keats, a name originating from Port Keats Mission, which operated from 1935 until 1978. In the last few years, Port Keats was run as an Aboriginal reserve by the Northern Territory Government, before being renamed Wadeye when control was passed to the Kardu Numida Council.
