Glory be! The 3-30 June amber zone exclusion period was cancelled. So this opens up the possibility for me to drive from CP out to Emu and back. Except of course I don't have permits.
Since I am only planning to go as far as Emu, I only need the Defence and MT permits. The time slot I'm looking at is 17 to 22 June. ( I don't expect it to take that long, just leaving wiggle room in case of weather issues, etc.)
In some old
forum threads, it was suggested that one can call and apply for or expedite processing of these permits. Does anyone have those phone numbers? Or can you suggest an approach that would help me get these permits in time? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I am doing the
Maralinga tour in a few days. Does Robin still make his inspection trips from
Maralinga to Emu? Maybe I can tag along? LOL

Current status: Today, 21 May, I stopped by the MT office in
Ceduna and filled out the permit application. And paid the $25 fee.
Then I went to the library, where I printed out the Defence form. Filled it out and took a picture of it with my phone. Emailed that to the address which is in the form instructions. I got a reply email in about 5 minutes, with the approved permit attached! Can't get much more expedited than that! :)
So now I'm waiting for the MT permit to be approved. The ladies at the office seemed to think it will be done in time, no worries.

Another update: while I was at
Maralinga this week for my tour, I of course mentioned to Robin my plans to visit Emu via the AB. Without me asking, he made a phone call, and verified the permit has been signed. It should be sent to me soon.
