Ditto to above, also simple ensuited cabins in
camping area, basic food, groceries, supplies and fuel of course. Officially no entry to town area without permission or genuine reason although I have been in for mechanical repair.
Also a good art centre and gallery a few minutes walk from roadhouse.

Hey Tony, I've not seen or heard anywhere that there's any sort of restriction on entering the town (other than having a permit to travel the aboriginal lands which is very simple and free to get)? do you have a source for this? just interested for future travels.

Noldi
How familiar are you with
Warburton. The roadhouse and
camping area are right on the highway, the community, or town, is a short distance away on the other side of the highway. When I was at
Warburton there was a
sign on the turn off from the highway to the community saying no entry, or words to that effect. In my limited experience, regardless of what permits might say, it's best if you don't just go and drive around in a community without
clearing it with someone on the ground.
Cheers

Thanks Rocco,
yep was there 4 months ago did not see any signs, went into town spoke to the local copper who was supervising some
young fellas cleaning up, went to the
post office and local store no one mentioned it, that's why I'm a bit confused. I have sent an email to the Ngaanyatjarraku council and will post the results here

Sorry for the delay in getting back, never received a reply to my email enquiry so I rang the Store, Rocco is correct in what he has said, and while I did not do this when I was there in September, I have been told the process is to go to the roadhouse in the first instance before proceeding into the community.
Now I know for next time.
