Cheeditha, also known as Old Woolshed, is a small dry community close to Roebourne.
It was settled by Yindjibarndi elders after the bulldozing of the Old Reserve. Refusing to be corralled into the new State Housing Village – they decided to create their own community. They were determined not to be pushed around by the government anymore.
Cheeditha stands for defiance and independence – in the face of the toughest of times. It continues this legacy today – now led with the strength and dedication of Yindjibarndi man, Stanley Warrie.
