Abstract

Off the coast of northern Australia lies the island of South Goulburn, home to the small indigenous coastal community of Warruwi. English is not usually the fi rst language spoken here; in fact the islanders may speak two, three or more different Aboriginal languages, most commonly Maung. Particularly in the dry season, there is a high degree of mobility to and from other regions, commonly to the mainland of Arnhem and, and the city of Darwin, 280 km to the southwest, which is connected to the island by a ‘mail plane’.
