Mintabie, South Australia
Mintabie is an opal mining community in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara or "APY" Lands in South Australia. It is unique in comparison to other communities situated in the APY Lands, in that its residents are largely not of Indigenous Australian origin, and significant mining activity (of opal gemstones) is occurring.
==Geography==
Mintabie is situated west of the Stuart Highway and approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Marla 〔(GeoScience Australia Gazetted Co-ordinates )〕 and 980 kilometres northwest of the capital of South Australia, Adelaide.〔(Bonzle.com Profile; )〕 Mintabie is approximately 200 kilometres south of the Northern Territory border.〔"Every Pub", Vol. 2, Chris Dittmar, Bruce Abernethy & Australian Hotels Association (SA branch), 2006, ISBN 0-646-46619-4, ()〕
Mintabie sits in a geographical basin.〔(Bonzle.com Topographical profile; )〕 It is therefore not surprising that there is a lake basin near Mintabie. The Mintabie Miners Progress Association describes the lake as follows:
The lake at Mintabie is fed by many small surrounding creeks. In the past 15 years, it has been filled twice. The first time was in 1988, when higher than normal rainfall filled the lake to capacity. Although the rainfall returned to normal, the lake retained water for approximately three years. Rains in 2000 again filled the lake Today the lake has once again dried up awaiting another big rain.〔("Scenic Tour of Mintabie"; )〕
The parcel of land on which Mintabie sits is leased by the State government from Anangu. The original township lease expired in 2002. On 3 December 2009, the South Australian Parliament passed the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Land Rights (Mintabie) Amendment Act 2009. This legislation creates the framework for a new lease.〔("APY Lands Renewal of the Lease"; )〕
