The island encompasses an area of {{convert|2746|ha|acre|0}}.[1] It is situated within the Sir Graham Moore Islands group, about {{convert|45|km|mi|0}} north of Kalumburu. Originally, the islasnd was inhabited by a band of the Kambure people. Today, by succession, the traditional owners of the island and the Barurungari group, of the Worrorran language group, whose name for the island is Niiwalarra.[2] The Jaurinanda peoples who had once inhabited the island once traded with the Makassan who routinely viited the area sometime between 1669 and 1763. Both groups harvested and processed sea cucumber with the Jaurinanda incorporating several Malay words into their language.[2] The group and island were named in 1819 by Phillip Parker King after Sir Graham Moore who held a seat of the board of the English Admiralty Board.[1] A LORAN radar site was established on the north west corner of the island during World War II by American and Australian forces. The site consisted of a radar building, radio building, a powerhouse and a campsite. The concrete pad for the main building are all that remain today.[3] The island once supported a population of feral pigs but by 2009 they had died out, apparently from the only fresh water source becoming saline following erosion from a cyclone.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://conservation.wa.gov.au/media/8919/final%20version_14april2010.pdf|title=Status Performance Assessment: Biodiversity conservation of Western Australian Islands|date=1 April 2010|accessdate=4 August 2014|publisher=Government of Western Australia}} {{coord|-13.8896|126.5494|format=dms|type:isle_region:AU-WA|display=title}}2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://museum.wa.gov.au/sites/default/files/WAM_Supp81_Internals%20pp145-181.pdf|title=Biodiversity values on selected Kimberley Islands, Australia|author=T.
