Permits are essential for travel on Aboriginal Lands. The Outback Highway, between Laverton and Uluru, is patrolled and fines will be issued 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.
There are two application forms that must be forwarded: one to the Central Land Council and the other to the Aboriginal Land Trust. Allow two to three weeks for your application to be processed. It is the right of the traditional owners to refuse an entry permit. When travelling through Aboriginal Lands, drivers are prohibited to divert off the main road.
