Nhulunbuy is Great

Plan a respectful, permit-aware visit to the Gove Peninsula and East Arnhem Land.

Nhulunbuy sits on the Gove Peninsula in north-east Arnhem Land, a remote coastal base for exploring East Arnhem Land with respect for Yolngu Country and local conditions. White-sand beaches, cultural experiences and outdoor recreation are part of the region, but access planning is essential. Tourism NT has current Nhulunbuy and Gove travel information.

Flying via Gove-East Arnhem Airport is a common arrival option. Road travel through Arnhem Land is long and largely unsealed, and permits are required for travel through Aboriginal land. Confirm permits, road conditions, bookings and local guidance before departure.
