Coomalie and Belyuen are two distinct Northern Territory areas located about 70 km apart. Belyuen is an entirely First Nations community, with 100% of its population identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, while Coomalie's First Nations population is 20.5%. The two areas differ sharply in age; Belyuen is quite young with a typical resident aged 32, whereas Coomalie is far older, with a typical age of 51 and 23.7% of people aged 65 and over.
