📍Groote Eylandt’s landscape reflects the classic Top End vibe, with light woodland savannah inland and coastal mangroves. The main town, Alyangula, has around 870 residents, mostly non-Aboriginal miners, as manganese mining has been active since 1966.

Where: Groote Eylandt
Spotee:
About: The black-necked stork is a tall, long-necked wading bird in the stork family. It lives in wetland habitats and near fields of certain crops, such as rice and wheat, where it forages for a wide range of animal prey.

In Australia, it is sometimes called a 'jabiru', although that name refers to a stork species found in the Americas. It is one of the few storks that are strongly territorial when feeding and breeding.
