By the nature of its inception, the town drew people from all over Australia and the world who quickly settled into the Northern Territory way of life—relaxed and informal. Permits are required to drive to Nhulunbuy—over 700 km of unsealed roads—so most supplies and visitors are brought by air to Gove Airport or by sea. James Strong who went on to be the chairman of Qantas lived in the town at one stage when he was the head of the mine and port operations. Nhulunbuy is only 20 km from the Indigenous community of Yirrkala , famous for its aboriginal art. EXTERNAL LINKS |
