When touring the more remote regions where there are large areas of Aboriginal land, it is a good idea to respect the different regulations that are associated with each.

  • Permits are required to travel on Aboriginal Lands in the Goldfields region.
  • The Great Central Road, between Laverton and Uluru is patrolled and fines result if visitors have not obtained a permit.
  • Permit application forms are available from any Department of Indigenous Affairs office or on the internet at www.dia.wa.gov.au/alt. Allow 2-3 weeks in advance for applications to be processed. It is the right of the Traditional Owners to refuse an entry permit.
  • When travelling through Aboriginal Lands it is prohibited to divert off the main road.
  • Unleaded petrol can not be purchased within the Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku. Only Avgas is available at the three fuel stops within the Shire - Warburton, Docker River and Giles. Unleaded fuel can be purchased at Yulara to the west and Tjukayirla to the east.
  • It is prohibited to take jerry cans of unleaded fuel into the Shire.
