Nhulunbuy, with a population of approximately 4000, is the fourth largest town in the Northern Territory. It is also the most isolated town of this size in Australia.

The town was built in the early 1970's to service a bauxite mine and alumina refinery, operated by Alcan. However it has also assumed a role as a centre for service provision toArnhem Land. Its isolation has meant that its natural attractions have had little visibility in the mainstream tourist market.

Nhulunbuy is often referred to as "Gove", however Gove is actually the peninsula on which the town is located.

[edit] Get in

Daily Qantas and Flight West jet flights operate from Darwin and Cairns to Gove Airport (GOV), approximately 13km from the town centre.

There is only one road into Nhulunbuy. It is a gravel road and only accessible during the dry season (April to September). It is only accessible by four wheel drive and permits are required. Seek advice on this before traveling.

[edit] Get around

Note: The town is surrounded by land that is under the control of the local Aboriginal landowners, the Yolngu. Permits are required to enter Yolngu land.
