I always had the impression the region was closed to independent travellers; tour operators charge $$$$. You certainly made the best of the opportunity. Meanwhile visitors to Kakadu National Park are being deterred by reports of poor maintenance and arbitrary closures. (wanted to quote your original post here but the Forum structure seems too clunky). Indeed Philip. Anyone can visit Arnhem Land if: 1. You have an adequate 4x4 vehicle (it's not a requirement, it's for your own benefit!). Believe me, you'll find severe corrugation, lots of it, for hundreds of kms. If you break down or get a flat tyre, there's no servo or anyone around to help. No telephone coverage either. 2. You apply for a series of permits: access permit, camping permits and alcohol permit. This bit is a nightmare and has normally to be done months in advance. I also applied for a drone permit. Re. Kakadu, I don't blame people for hesitating going. We were at Gunlom, on the first day of re-opening after the lockdown. The ranger told us there would normally be 200 campers, we were 12. Thing is, the top of the waterfall was closed because during path maintenance work, workers deviated from its initial location and went through sacred aboriginal ground. Hence a dispute and the matter is now in court. That's Kakadu number 1 attraction, a real jewel, closed at the top. So we swam in the waterfall pool at the bottom. Next day, they sighted a croc there and closed the access totally. They tried to capture it for a number of weeks but failed. Other attractions are kilometres apart if you want to see something else but Yellow Waters Billabong which I recommend any time (especially the sunrise and/or the sunset cruise).

Thanks very much Genevieve, most interesting. If this pandemic thing continues much longer, I'll have to get myself a 4x4... We were in the Top End recently, but reliant on tour operators, which can be frustrating at the best of times. It was the Gunlom shutdown which drew the attention of ABC TV's recent news feature, plus the unrest amongst aboriginal stakeholders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from the madding crowds. We've been on the road for almost two years now and had an incredible time. We're currently in FNQ and guess what, they 're having a late Wet! Raging waterfalls and torrential rain! Plenty of time to catch up on Alamy edits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
