Sites colour coded as gold require all visitors to be accompanied by a Traditional Owners operated accredited tour guide. However, tour guide services are currently limited, and as a result, the sites coded yellow will be off limits until further notice.

Please be aware that Dambimangari country is a remote and dangerous place and all visitors to country are responsible for their own safety. By Traditional Owners allowing you to continue to visit these sites does not necessarily mean that it is always safe to do so. Entering any site on the Visitor Location Schedule is done entirely at your own risk.
The table below lists areas on Aboriginal Reserves requiring a Transit Permit (indicated by a #) from the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage. This requirement is in addition to the requirement for a Dambimangari Visitors Pass. More information: Accessing Aboriginal Reserves.

Special Arrangements
Whilst it is expected that the majority of visitors will be adequately covered by the above process, some visitors may wish to access areas not on the Visitor Location Schedule. Some examples may be helicopter companies, bushwalkers, or commercial vessel operators.
Approvals to access areas not included on the Visitor Location Schedule will only occur in exceptional circumstances (e.g. for scientific research). Applicants should provide as much detail as possible as to why they wish to access an area.
The default position is that NO Special Arrangements exist with any party unless otherwise confirmed in writing by DAC.
Please allow 3 months for your application to be considered. ‘Special Arrangement Request Form‘
