How to get there?

By Roads - The Central Arnhem Road leaves the Stuart Highway 52 km south of Katherine. The first 30 km is sealed but from then on the road is corrugated, slippery with loose gravel and in some places heavy with bull dust.

There are two major river crossings; the Wilton River near Bulman Aboriginal community and the Goyder River, about 400 km from Nhulunbuy. It is advisable to check road conditions with the Department of Planning and Infrastructure before traveling for a Road Report.

The last fuel stop on the track is The Outback Store (about 250km from Katherine) at the Mainoru River where you can camp or get cold drinks and supplies. There is no more fuel after this until you reach Nhulunbuy, so it will be necessary to carry jerry cans of fuel.

By Boat - If entering Nhulunbuy via Gove Harbor in a yacht or boat be sure to contact the Australian Customs Service for quarantine information on 08 8987 1744.

regulations should be strictly adhered to when on the water. Be cautious when traveling at high speed, as there may be hidden marine debris. If possible, avoid standing in the water when launching and recovering your boat.
