Abstract
The population of Mutitjulu has grown substantially and at a rate above the regional average since the community was established in 1985. There have been several counts of the population since then, and five of these are presented in sequence to chart the growth in numbers. Overall, they indicate an increase in the usually resident population from 140 in 1986 to 385 in 2000. This represents an annual rate of growth of 12.5 per cent, which is far above the rate of 3.1 per cent per annum recorded for the wider central Australian region.
