Thalanyji Country spreads out across the Ashburton River coastal plan south to Tubridji Point, then across to Yannarie River and upstream to Emu Creek, across the range hills of southwest Pilbara to Henry River and Cane River in the north. Thalanyji People have lived on Country from the Creation – from time immemorial. In Thalanyji culture, everything is interconnected – people, animals, plans, ancestors, creation beings, waterways, the sea, the sky, the earth, the wind and the rain.

Thalanyji country is traditionally located around the Ashburton River and Onslow. The Totem is connected to rain, names are connected to weather patterns. The Thalanyji People are the Native Title holders of the area surrounding and including Onslow.
