I was curious about the same thing, thought you needed a reason to go through.

How difficult is it to get permits into Arnhem Land? I thought it wasnt easy?

Don't know at the moment Plassy ........... only looking at the '1st leg' of the journey at the moment, which should take us through to the end of the year. No idea when we'll reach Arnhemland, but the hope is we'll spend a good part of next year exploring the Kimberley in depth so it could well be 2020 before we reach Arnhemland. That said I believe getting tourism permits is easier than it used to be, but I think there are plenty of areas which remain out of bounds to visitors. I have the impression that it is probably easier to get permits to a number of places if you have the time to 'hang around' & fit in with whatever is going on. Probably far more difficult to sort such things out to fit around a three week (for example) holiday.

We've kicked ourselves for years for not taking up an invitation to go into Arnhemland from a bloke we met up with in Katherine back in'09 ...... reckon we could have stayed there a while with just his 'verbal' permit.

After a few false starts & medical delays ............ we finally leave tomorrow..... for as long as it takes. Because we now only have 2.5 months (instead of 4 months) to get to Broome we will have to see how we go for time & adjust our route as we go. Still going across the western deserts from Alice, but may have to save some of the mid west for another time. Our wet season caretaking gig 200kms north of Broome has been confirmed today. Still not sure if we are crazy to commit to a full wet season, but that is what we've done, & we expect to remain in the Kimberley until the end of the 2019 dry season, perhaps longer if we feel like a second wet season there. New blog posts should commence in the near future.
