Wingellina (Irruntu) is a cultural hub for the Ngaanyatjarra People. The headquarters for NG Media are located here. NG Media is the all purpose bush telegraph for a vast region of outback Australia called the Ngaanyatjarra Lands. Review of town itself: Wide roads (unsealed), one general store, housing in varying condition. School and Clinic. Water supplied via water tower to improve pressure.
