Overview
Wujal Wujal is the Kuku-yalanji name given to the area previously known as Bloomfield and later the Bloomfield River Mission. Originally founded in 1886 by Lutheran Missionaries, the Community became too difficult to administer due to its isolation and the missionaries of the time were forced to withdraw from the area. The Community was again opened in 1957 and was administered by the Hopevale Mission Board which was an arm of the Lutheran Church of Australia. In 1979 following representations from the Community Council the name was changed from Bloomfield River to Wujal Wujal. Wujal Wujal consists of only one clan group.
