Warralong is a small Aboriginal community, located 120 kilometres (75 mi) south east of Port Hedland and 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Marble Bar[1] in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, within the Shire of East Pilbara.
Pastoralists soon followed and established both sheep and cattle stations throughout the area displacing the Indigenous inhabitants but employing them as cheap labour leading to the 1946 Pilbara strike.
An Indigenous group, the Nomads, which remained connected to Don McLeod until his death in 1999, acquired a number of pastoral leases including those at Coongan and Strelley in 1972.
An alcohol ban was formally imposed on the community in 2013 following a spate of alcohol-induced violent incidents.
The community school at Warralong is operated by The Nomads Charitable & Educational Foundation, which was established by Don McLeod and Ray Butler in 1971.
