Kakadunngu

Kakadunngu is a small, uninhabited island located in the Torres Strait, between Queensland, Australia, and Papua New Guinea. It is part of the Torres Strait Islands archipelago. The island is characterized by its low-lying topography and sandy shores, typical of many islands in the region. Vegetation on Kakadunngu is sparse, primarily consisting of grasses and low shrubs adapted to the coastal environment.

The island holds significance for the Traditional Owners of the Torres Strait, the Torres Strait Islanders. While not permanently inhabited, it is likely used for traditional purposes such as fishing or gathering. Like other islands in the Torres Strait, Kakadunngu is subject to tidal influences and the marine ecosystem of the surrounding waters. Its geographical position places it within a region known for its rich biodiversity, including coral reefs and marine life. The island's name and its associated cultural heritage are integral to the identity and traditions of the local Indigenous communities.
