We are planning a trip to the Gove Peninsula in East Arnhem Land in July. We have a couple of questions and if anyone has recent experience there we’d very much appreciate any comments, recommendations or observations.

We have a faint hope of accessing Nhulunbuy via the road from Oenpelli, Ramingining etc on to Nhulunbuy. We are dubious of getting permission for this but thought we’d try. We visited the Coburg peninsula a few years ago and the rangers there said they could not get permission to drive through this road and had to transit down through Katherine and onto the Mainoru / Central Arnhem Road. Maybe things have changed. Has anyone any experience with this?

The Dhimurru website quite clearly states permission will not be given for caravans to go through to Gove. However I seem to recall somewhere reading about someone with a van travelling the road.

Once at Nhulunbuy, there are a number of attractive sounding recreation areas to see. These are under “General” or “Special” permit categories. We won’t be able to visit all of them. Are there any that are must-see and can be recommended?

Again, any comments from recent visitors to these parts would be very much appreciated.

Regards
Mark and Sandy
