Summary
Weather for Bathurst Island

Bathurst Island is one of the Tiwi Islands off the northern coast of Australia. The largest settlement is Wurrumiyanga (formerly known as Nguiu), with a population of around 1600. It is distantly followed by Wurakuwu, home to a population of about 50.

Named after British politician Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst, it was the site of a Roman Catholic Mission from 1910 to 1938. During the Bombing of Darwin the first wave of 188 Japanese planes was spotted by Father John McGrath, a Catholic priest conducting missionary work on Bathurst Island.

Bathurst Island was depicted as Mission Island in the 2008 Baz Luhrmann film Australia.
