Does anyone know the situation with the alcohol prohibition in NT National Parks?

Gday,
There arent any restrictions in National Parks.
Unless you have to travel through Aboriginal land to get there.
Cheers

Also,don't sell it to the Black fella's if they ask. Just recently they were trying to buy a beer from the
camp ground at
Roper Bar, $50 for a warm 6 pack of VB. Sad.

Also petrol is a big problem too. My father in law said he was advised to chain his 2 jerry cans inside his cruiser when in aboriginal towns up there. Apparently they will do anything to get to petrol as they sell it to others for $5 per cup. They have a sling around their necks which holds the cup up to their noses and walk around sniffing it all day.
Crazy thing was that locals there already knew he had filled up his jerry cans hundreds of kms away- the pub owner said the word of jerry cans of fuel approaching will beat you to aboriginal settlements every time...
I thought that was disturbing enough until he told me that he saw a street line painting truck re paint the lines thru that settlement. As it passed him he was gobsmacked to see two
young aboriginal kids of about 5yrs of age following the truck on their knees with sheets over their heads sniffing the wet paint....
