Aboriginals lifestyle is very interactive and easy to understand. Aboriginal lifestyle is a traditional way were every one come together and be one. They lived in small communities and survived by hunting and gathering. The men would hunt large animals for food and women and children would collect fruit, plants and berries. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities only used the land for things that they needed - shelter, water, food, weapons.

Following the discovery of economic bauxite deposits near Weipa in 1955, a small exploration camp (Top Camp) was established at Munding in mid-1956. Under the terms of the Commonwealth Aluminium Corporation Pty. Limited Agreement Act of 1957 (Qld.), an area for a township was excised from the Cook Shire local authority area and the mining company, Commonwealth Aluminium Corporation (Comalco) became the manager of the new town, based on land near Kumrunja (Rocky Point) on the south side of the Mission River. As the mining operations expanded, so too did the town. A second suburb developed at Trunding (Neighbourhood Two) on mined land in the mid-1970s, before further expansion southwards to the suburb of Nanum during the 1990s.

Apunipima Cape York Health Council has grown from an advocacy organisation to an internationally recognised leader in Indigenous health. This evolution is a result of the vision and tenacity, of our community elected board members and the dedicated workforce that deliver on their desired outcomes. Apunipima Cape York Health Council emerged from a health conference held at Pajinka Wilderness Lodge, near Injinoo (at the tip of Cape York) in September 1994. The conference was attended by representatives of 17 Cape York communities and associated homelands concerned about the poor health status of Cape York Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The result of the conference established Apunipima and gave the organisation a mandate to carry the health related issues to both the Cape York Land Council and the then Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Council. In 2006 Apunipima transitioned from an advocacy organisation to providing primary health services for some of the most remote indigenous communities in Australia and the largest geographical area of any Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation in Queensland. Apunipima is recognised internationally, with one of the largest workforces in Cape York communities.

A remote far north Queensland Indigenous community will remember its proud military history today with the opening of a new war memorial. It is estimated more than 24 soldiers from Napranum, in Cape York, fought in World War II. Young girls and women also played their part by making bandages and clothing for soldiers serving at the front. The Member for Leichhardt, Warren Entsch, will officially open the war memorial this morning at a gathering of returned soldiers, descendants and military personnel. "They've got the Royal Australian Air Corp here, they've got the military service, they've got a whole lot of descendants here ... the whole community got involved," he said. "There's members here that rescued some of the American air crews. "When you have a look at this beautiful war memorial that they've made up here, in spite of all of the negatives I suppose, and the difficulties and the challenges, they were still very proud Australians and very, very determined to serve their country."
