The town is home to a vibrant traditional art centre, the home of the notorious Cahills Crossing where fishermen battle crocs for a catch, and on the doorstep of World-Heritage listed Kakadu National Park.
It is hoped the handback will bring certainty to the town s future after mining operations ceased in January.
Senior Mirarr traditional owner Yvonne Margarula spoke at the ceremony in the Indigenous language of Kundjeyhmi, with her message of joy translated as she spoke.
