Pamayu is a locality in the Northern Territory of Australia located about 725 kilometres (450 mi) south-east of the territory capital of Darwin.[1][5]
The locality’s name which is pronounced as "Bama-yu" is derived from the local Djingli aboriginal people’s name for the site where the Powell Creek Telegraph Station was located. Its boundaries and name were gazetted on 4 April 2007 and fully surrounds the localities of Elliott and Newcastle Waters. Its boundary with the locality of Elliott was amended on 20 January 2016.[7][1][9]
