The township of Nhulunbuy has a population of around 3,200 and is situated in East Arnhem Land on the north western tip of the Gulf of Carpentaria 600 kilometres due east of Darwin. It is considered a vital lifeline to the outer regions with respect to the provision of shopping, hospital and health care services. Each year during the monsoonal season road access between communities within the region are not accessible by road and residents of these communities become dependent on air travel to access their basic needs. Gove Airport is located 15 kilometres from Nhulunbuy and services the communities of Nhulunbuy, Yirrkala, Gunyangara and some 80 other communities within East Arnhem Land. It also provides residents and visitors of East Arnhem Land a link with interstate and international travel through the gateway airports of Cairns International and Darwin International. It is operated by the Nhulunbuy Corporation Limited under a Deed of Agreement with Rio Tinto Alcan. Because of its strategic position, Gove Airport is a nominated alternate aerodrome for certain domestic and international carriers when access to their planned destination airport is inaccessible due to inclement weather or technical issues.

Dhupuma College Yearbook 1973.Pdf
YEAR BOOK 1973 Some of the walkers gathering at Gave Airport a little after dawn. DHUPUMA WALKATHON The Dhupuma Walkathon - 14 miles from Gove Airport to Wallaby Beach camp - was Dhupuma's first fund raising effort. Eighty-one walkers left the airport a little before 6.30 a.m. under very overcast conditions. The walkers were drenched by rain several times during their long hike, but this helped to keep all relatively cool and fresh. The aim was to cover as many sponsored miles as possible, rather than make a race of it. However, those keen to take line honours ran most of the way and the fourteen miles was covered in the time of 2 hours 18 minutes by Peter Darlison of Nhulunbuy Area School, closely followed by the first Dhupuma student, Rick Bayung, and several others. The slowest walkers took 4 hours and 20 minutes to cover the course, but these were three seven-year-olds, who did well to complete the walk. Only five walkers retired before the finish, and each of these covered more than eight miles. The main fund-raiser was Mr. Des O'Dowd, Gove Li cns Club representative @ $10 per mile plus several other sponsors. The leading fund-raiser from the Dhupuma students was Linda Galaway. The walkathon raised approximately $700 for the Dhupuma Social and Sporting Club Inc. and will be used to purchase recreation materials for the students' recreation rooms and dormitories. The only real damper on the day was the washout of the barbecue at Drimmie Head for walkers and their friends after the event.

Monthly Weather Review Northern Territory April 2011 Monthly Weather Review Northern Territory April 2011 The Monthly Weather Review - Northern Territory is produced twelve times each year by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Northern Territory Climate Services Centre. It is intended to provide a concise but informative overview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Northern Territory for the month. To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until complete quality control procedures have been carried out. Major discrepancies will be noted in later issues. We are keen to ensure that the Monthly Weather Review is appropriate to the needs of its readers. If you have any comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us: By mail Northern Territory Climate Services Centre Bureau of Meteorology PO Box 40050 Casuarina NT 0811 AUSTRALIA By telephone (08) 8920 3813 By email [email protected] You may also wish to visit the Bureau's home page, http://www.bom.gov.au. Units of measurement Except where noted, temperature is given in degrees Celsius (°C), rainfall in millimetres (mm), and wind speed in kilometres per hour (km/h). Observation times and periods Each station in Northern Territory makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the past 24 hours is determined, and maximum and minimum thermometers are also read and reset.

U Places and People: Taking Aboriginal Understandings Seriously in Land and Sea Management
YolYol\\\\uu Places and People: Taking Aboriginal Understandings Seriously in Land and Sea Management Margaret Leanne Ayre B. For. Sc. (Hons), University of Melbourne Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2002 Department of History and Philosophy of Science The University of Melbourne Abstract In this thesis I look at the work of managing Yol\u Aboriginal estates by the Dhimurru Land Management Aboriginal Corporation (Dhimurru) and Yol\u Aboriginal communities of NE Arnhem Land. I examine the practices of doing contemporary land and sea management at Dhimurru drawing on work I did at Dhimurru assisting in the development of a plan of management for the Yol\u place, }anydjaka (Cape Arnhem in English), and negotiating a curriculum/pedagogy for Dhimurru Yol\u Rangers. I examine the mobilisation strategies of the environmental sciences and Yol\u knowledges which together perform the ‘object of management’ in Dhimurru’s practice, ‘}anydjaka/Cape Arnhem’, as a multiplicity: a Yol\u-managed place. Showing ‘}anydjaka/Cape Arnhem’ as a multiplicity (multiple but partially connected objects) allows us to understand place as multiple materialities performed through sets of routine, but quite often very different, sets of practices. The work of managing ‘}anydjaka/Cape Arnhem’ is the work of managing multiple realities within which the object of management is continually performed as partial, messy, contingent and local. I contend that in order to take Yol\u understandings seriously in land and sea management we need to understand Dhimurru’s unique ontology as a knowledge landscape characterised by an emergent methodology I call ‘journeying-naming- tracing’.

Submission 29
SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN TERRITORY GOVERNMENT TO THE PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION’S INQUIRY INTO THE ECONOMIC REGULATION OF AIRPORTS SEPTEMBER 2018 The Northern Territory Government welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission to the Productivity Commission’s inquiry into the economic regulation of airports. This submission supports the Northern Territory Government’s previous submissions to the Australian Senate’s Inquiry into Regional and Remote Air Services, and Parliamentary Inquiry into Opportunities and Methods for Stimulating the Tourism Industry in Northern Australia. The Northern Territory in Context The Northern Territory has a small population of around 244,500 people, dispersed over a large geographic area of 1.3 million square kilometres. Approximately 30 per cent of the population is Aboriginal and of whom nearly 80 per cent live outside of the greater Darwin area. The Northern Territory’s two largest population centres are separated by some 1500 kilometres. As is the case with other relatively small, isolated communities across Australia, the Northern Territory has issues with the level of market power which can be brought by an individual business, including in the aviation sector. The cost of air services in the Territory are a major area of community concern. As part of Australia’s airport privatisation program, the Airport Development Group acquired leases from the Australian Government for the three Northern Territory airports—Darwin International Airport, Alice Springs Airport and Tennant Creek Airport—in June 1998. Each lease is for 50 years, with an option of a further 49 year lease. Ayers Rock Airport is leased to Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia, while Katherine Airport is managed by the Katherine Town Council and Gove Airport’s operating structure is being considered through the Rio Tinto curtailment process.
