After seven months we are finally saying good-bye to East Arnhem Land. We will miss this amazing remote location, but I am sure we will be back! Three months on Elcho Island then another four in Nhulunbuy was still not enough. So where to now!? It's back to the West as we wanted to catch-up with some friends in Broome for Christmas then we are going to sweat it out in the north west for summer! This episode we travel in three days from Nhulunbuy to Broome!
Enjoy!
If you are heading up the Central Arnhem Road with a caravan, we recommend you make sure the below five things are checked off your list well before hitting the track.
1. Book your accommodation
a. Gove Boat Club: / goveboatclub or their new website (under development 2023) goveboatclub.com.au/ has power / water and is easily the best place to stay with a caravan in Gove.
b. Walkabout Lodge: walkaboutlodge.com.au/ if you cant get into the boat club, camping out the back (no power or water) but it is in the middle of town, good pub, but can get a bit rowdy.
2. Book your transit permit
a. Head over to www.nlc.org.au/apply-for-perm... and book for the days you intend to be on the Central Arnhem Road
3. Book your recreational permit
a. Head over to www.nlc.org.au/apply-for-perm... to book your permit for the time you are staying in East Arnhem Land (you need this to book camp sites!)
4. Book your camp sites (these book out early so don’t expect to get any of the good ones at the last minute as the locals will have already snapped them up)
a. Head over to www.dhimurru.com.au/visiting-... or
b. www.eastarnhemland.com.au/cat... if you want to book Cato - which is the only other site that allows caravans
5. Book your alcohol permit
a. Head over to nt.gov.au/law/alcohol/permits...

Safe travels. 😊
