permit for Gary Junction Rd.

A few year ago when I got one for the Pilbara - Gary Junction Rd it had this phone number on the bottom - may be of use (or not)

I would not worry about it if I was you. You did the right thing in applying, IF you are aksed you should be alright to show yuor application adsay it is probably in the mail.
The conditions on these permits are almost impossible to follow. From memory the time we had to complete the NT section according to the permit was far less than what we actually took.
Oh and in answer to your other question, I dont know what your penalty will be because I do not know anybody who has been asked. No jail though :-)

Straight to hell...!!!!!
How dare you drive on a road that your (and mine) taxes have paid for...shame on you..
Cheers

I applied for one in Alice Springs four years ago. It took one week to get it. The NT one was the same day.

While driving out on the road, I got stopped by police in the middle of nowhere about 150 ks from the WA border. I had not seen another car for hours. I thought they would want to see my permit but no, they wanted to give me a breath test. I passed that with flying colours then stood beside their car in the centre of the road for fifteen minutes talking about travelling. We then waved goodbye and I was on my way again. Things are a bit different out there.

On the NT side you apply online with the CLC and the permit is issued straight away by email.

On the WA side allow 3 weeks. The officer is Joan Groves. By all means call her if you haven't allowed enough time.

You are going through Aboriginal freehold lands and lands reserved for Aboriginal groups by act of parliament. It is only courtesy, not to mention legally required, that you get permission. Or would you be happy for me to pitch my tent in your backyard without asking?

Local communities welcome your spending as a boost to the economic life of the area. Council rates on businesses help provide services. Councils do the road maintenance out there in WA. Don't know about NT.

Just for the benefit of others it would appear that for the WA side you can also apply direct to the Ngaanyatjarra Council - 7 days turnaround is indicated.

We are travelling through to Surveyor Generals Corner from Kalgoorlie, and then on to Uluru later this month. Applied for Permits from the CLC, and received them by email the same day. The WA section took a little longer, a couple of weeks I think. You can nominate the length of time you need the transit permit for, even though the default is 3 days. We have nominated 7 days for each leg. Macca.
