    Western Australia – Permits and Permissions Required to Access Indigenous and Other Lands, Including National Parks

    Western Australia – Permits and permissions required to access indigenous and other lands, including national parks General: Quite a number of transit permits for aboriginal lands in WA are able to be issued by the Aboriginal Lands Trust of WA. (N.B.: The Aboriginal Lands Trust has no involvement whatever in the issuing of permits for the Canning Stock Route – for Canning information and Permits see below under the heading of Canning Stock Route). The Trust is a part of the Department of Indigenous Affairs. Applications can be made on-line at www.dia.wa.gov.au and simply follow the prompts. The web site contains a lot of excellent information including maps showing the specific areas and tracks where Permits are required and whether the Trust or a Land Council issues them. The conditions under which permits can be gained via an automated on-line process are also explained. Once you log on to the web site, click on the “Entering Aboriginal Land” button on the left side of the Home Page and read all of the information under the nominated four (4) headings BEFORE applying on-line. The maps showing the tracks and whether DIA or a Land Council, etc., issues them can be found under the “Travel Information” heading. About half way down that page is a map of WA showing the Land Council areas; simply click on the area you want to visit. The Trust can be contacted at: The Permits Officer, Aboriginal Lands Trust, PO Box 7770, Cloisters Square, Perth, WA 6850. Telephone (08) 9235 8000 or Fax (08) 9235 8088.

    Outstations Through Art: Acrylic Painting, Self‑Determination and the History of the Homelands Movement in the Pintupi‑Ngaanyatjarra Lands Peter Thorley1

    8 Outstations through art: Acrylic painting, self-determination and the history of the homelands movement in the Pintupi-Ngaanyatjarra Lands Peter Thorley1 Australia in the 1970s saw sweeping changes in Indigenous policy. In its first year of what was to become a famously short term in office, the Whitlam Government began to undertake a range of initiatives to implement its new policy agenda, which became known as ‘self-determination’. The broad aim of the policy was to allow Indigenous Australians to exercise greater choice over their lives. One of the new measures was the decentralisation of government-run settlements in favour of smaller, less aggregated Indigenous-run communities or outstations. Under the previous policy of ‘assimilation’, living arrangements in government settlements in the Northern Territory were strictly managed 1 I would like to acknowledge the people of the communities of Kintore, Kiwirrkura and Warakurna for their assistance and guidance. I am especially grateful to Monica Nangala Robinson and Irene Nangala, with whom I have worked closely over a number of years and who provided insights and helped facilitate consultations. I have particularly enjoyed the camaraderie of my fellow researchers Fred Myers and Pip Deveson since we began working on an edited version of Ian Dunlop’s 1974 Yayayi footage for the National Museum of Australia’s Papunya Painting exhibition in 2007. Staff of Papunya Tula Artists, Warakurna Artists, Warlungurru School and the Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tutaku (Purple House) have been welcoming and have given generously of their time and resources. This chapter has benefited from discussion with Bob Edwards, Vivien Johnson and Kate Khan.

    South Australia – Permits and Permissions Required to Access Indigenous and Other Lands, Including National Parks

    South Australia – Permits and permissions required to access indigenous and other lands, including national parks Northern Areas: For travel over aboriginal lands in the northern part of South Australia, which includes for example, the Giles-Mulga Park Road from Mulga Park Station to Wingellina, contact the Anangu Pitjantjatjara/Yankunyjatjara Land Council on telephone (08) 8954 8111 for the General Office or (08) 8954 8104 for the Permits Officer or fax (08) 8954 8110. But bear in mind that currently the Land Council does not normally issue transit permits for that part of the Giles-Mulga Park Road, nor for any of the other tracks in the area. However, if you simply wish to visit any of the very worthwhile art galleries located on AP-Y lands at Indulkana, Fregon, Nyapari, Amata and Papulankutja, then it is strongly suggested that you simply contact the Manager of the particular art gallery concerned. The web site for Amata is www.minymakuarts.com.au and information on a number of other art galleries in the area is available on www.marshallarts.com.au. If you do manage to gain a permit to visit any of those areas you will find that it is the most beautiful document you will ever have been issued. The permits are a work of aboriginal art in themselves. There is a per person charge of $22 for the issue of a Permit. AP-Y do have a website where some further information about Permits is available, but bear in mind the general principle that AP-Y do not normally simply issue transit permits.

    Ngaanyatjarra Council

    PERMIT PACK Ngaanyatjarra Entry Permits The Permit System Entry to Ngaanyatjarra Lands can only be made by non-Aboriginal people who have been issued with an entry permit. It is also necessary to have a transit permit when travelling by road within the Northern Territory (obtainable from the Central Land council). The permit system applies to tourists transiting the Lands on the major route from Uluru or Kalgoorlie, or Wiluna, via Giles and Warburton, as well as people wishing to carry out activities ranging from gold prospecting to collecting insects, and mining companies wishing to explore Ngaanyatjarra Lands. People who have authority to enter the Lands without Permits include members of the Police Force, Public Health Officials, officers of Government Authorities, if and so long as they enter and remain for the purpose of the lawful exercise and performance of the functions and duties pertaining to their Office. The permit requirement does not apply to approved employees of Ngaanyatjarra Council. Any person who breaks the By-Laws is guilty of an offence and liable for a fine. Issuing of Permits The Ngaanyatjarra Council usually issues transit permits with little delay from the Alice Springs office. Applications for Entry Permits to Ngaanyatjarra Lands are made on a “Reserve Entry Permit Application” form. Permit application forms are available from the Community Office or Ngaanyatjarra Council office in Alice Springs. DIA also offer an option of applying for a permit on-line through their website, however any permit request that is for more than the normal 3 day transit permit will be sent to Ngaanyatjarra Council for full approval.
  • Retracing the Tracks of Len Beadell

    Retracing the Tracks of Len Beadell

    MEDIA RELEASE May 6, 2011 RETRACING THE TRACKS OF LEN BEADELL Leading tag-along-tour operators, Global Gypsies, will soon embark on another new and exciting 4WD expedition, this time a discovery tour to retrace the tracks of legendary outback figure, Len Beadell. A talented surveyor, road builder, bushman, artist and author, Beadell is often called “the last true Australian explorer". He was responsible for opening up over 2.5 million square kilometers of the last remaining isolated desert areas of central Australia in the 1940’s and 1950’s and his books are mandatory reading for modern day adventurers. There is also a fascinating museum dedicated to him at Giles Weather Station on the Great Central Road. To read more about Len Beadell, visit the website run by his daughter at www.beadell.com.au . On this exciting escorted and catered 14-day, self-drive 'discovery' tour, the Gypsies will retrace for the first time the historic dirt tracks which Len created to make the outback more accessible. A small convoy of 4WD’s will be led by an expert guide communicating by two-way radio – independent but not alone. They will begin the challenging journey in the goldfields hub of Kalgoorlie, head east towards the Great Victoria Desert and Laverton, take the Anne Beadell Highway to Neal Junction, travel north on the Connie Sue Highway to Warburton, tackle the Gun Barrel Highway through to Carnegie Station and conclude the expedition in the remote town of Wiluna. Eco-accredited former Tour Guide of the Year and qualified mechanic, Jeremy Perks, will lead the expedition.
