+===== About Gapuwiak =====
+**[[area:8:gapuwiak|Gapuwiyak]]**, also known as ''Lake Evella'', is an Aboriginal Australian community located in north-eastern Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, 25 kilometres (16 miles) south of the head of Buckingham Bay and about the same distance south-west of Arnhem Bay. The settlement had a population of 871 people recorded at the 2016 census.
+Gapuwiyak is adjacent to Lake Evella. The lake was seen by Harold Shepherdson from his Miles Hawk aeroplane in 1935 and he named it Lake Evella after his wife Ella, and Eva, the wife of a fellow missionary Rev T T Webb. Gapuwiyak means "brackish water" (Gapu – water; Wiyak – salty).
