Julalikari - Outstations
107,784 km²
Spanning over 107,000 square kilometres of the Barkly region, Julalikari - Outstations is a sparsely populated and remote area. The community is defined by a strong cultural connection, with nearly three quarters of First Nations people speaking a traditional language. However, life here is challenging, with very high unemployment and limited access to basic services. It is a deeply isolated landscape where residents live far from the typical amenities found in other parts of the Northern Territory.

First Nations people here are noticeably older than the national figure, with a typical age of 27. While 74.5% speak a First Nations language, the area faces significant hardship, including a 58.8% unemployment rate and Year 12 completion rates that are far below the national average.
The area is entirely car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.2, far below the Northern Territory average. Almost no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or public transport, reflecting its extreme isolation.
