Aboriginal Land Access

Travellers intending to leave main roads and enter Aboriginal Land for any purpose, must obtain a permit. Travellers on an organised tour will usually have permits organised for them by tour operators.

It is the right of Traditional Owners to refuse any entry permits.

There are a number of places or objects that hold special significance for Aboriginal people. Respect should be shown for these sites. Some are protected by law and there are penalties for trespassing. 

Information on obtaining permits and traversing aboriginal lands is published on the Department of Indigenous Affairs web site.
