Permit required

A warning that most of Arnhem land is restricted area for non-Indigenous people. I photographed this sign in October 2008 on the Central Arnhem Road about 100km east of Nhulunbuy. The permit system, which grants - or does not grant - access to Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory, is a very contentious issue for many Australians and a bill to amend the permit system to make it less restrictive is currently before the Federal Parliament.
