Desert Pintubi contacted 1962/1963

Report on Patrol west of Papunya August 1963 by Jeremy Long

Report on Patrol west of Papunya April 1964 by Jeremy Long

Movement of Western Desert Aborigines (Pintubi) into Papunya

The 1980 establishment of Kintore was delayed a few weeks in order Jeremy Long could accompany us all back to formally establish the first community at Kintore in the "Traditional Homelands" for Pintupi people.

The Commonwealth Dept Aboriginal Affairs conducted an official inquiry and report into whether the community at Kintore existed, whether it should be funded, so delayed their departments official recognition of the towns existance.

By then "Kintore NT 0872 Australia" was registered as town with a postcode.

Local government (with some name changes) at Kintore was by Walungurru Council (Aboriginal Corporation).

In October 2006 the Northern Territory Government announced the reform of local government, intention to improve and expand the delivery of services to towns and communities across the Territory by establishing eight new Shires.

Changes to NT Local Government replaced numerous small "Community Councils" with larger Local Government Authority, making Kintore now a Ward of the [MacDonnell Shire Council] http://www.macdonnell.nt.gov.au/

Kintore is located in the territory electorate of MacDonnell and the federal electorate of Lingiari.

Kintore has a school (Walungurru School), store, airstrip, health clinic, art centre and now a swimming pool.

The Kintore Police Station (what year?) replaced a long drive from Papunya, with in 2004 the first multi-jurisdicitional Police venture between NT and WA governments established at Kintore.

Roads to Kintore are still "disadvantaged" in development, graded dirt with occasional rain problems.

Kintore dial-up internet from 1990.
