'Nyinyilki is a freshwater spring and large lagoon in the south-east of Bentinck Island where our Father is from. This is now the Main Base.'‘ Amanda Gabori. "Nyinyilki or main base is where we built the outstation when we got our land back. That is why we call it main base as well’ Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori, Yinyilki sits on the south-eastern coast of Bentinck Island and is home to a large permanent freshwater lagoon. Following the Kaiadilt Land Rights battles, an outstation was established there and is often referred to as ‘Main Base’ or ‘Main Camp’. Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori and the group of senior women whom she lived and worked with would return to Nyinyilki whenever possible during the dry season and to Mornington Island during the wet season due to a lack of infrastructure and resources. Many Kaiadilt know the settlement by the colloquial name ‘the old ladies’ camp’.
