I have just returned from a 6 week trip to Arnhem Land. 4WD trailers are permitted to travel the Central Arnhem Road. However, caravans are not permitted. We traveled with an Ultimate trailer and had little issues. the road is corrugated in
places and there are a few pot holes on the section between the Goyder River & about 100kms from
Nhulunbuy.
Incidently, a bridge is being built over the Goyder River and is expected to be finished sometime this month.
We have about 80kms/hr for most of the 700km drive.
You need a permit to travel on the Central Arnhem Road, and this is easily obtainable from the Northern Lands Council.
To
camp around
Nhulunbuy, you need a permit which is obtainable from the
Dhimurru Aboriginal Council
This permit allows you to
camp at varoius locations around
Nhulunbuy. There are a couple of
places that require a separate permit - these are detailed on their website.
