Yirrkala

(Wet Landing)

The peaceful, leafy town of Nhulunbuy, the largest in Arnhem Land, lies in a spectacularly scenic region of wildly primeval, ancient landscapes and is justly regarded as one of the last wilderness areas on earth. Just outside of Nhulunbuy is the smaller community of Yirrkala, and it’s Yirrkala’s Shady Beach where we will land today.

The Yolngu people are of this land and are famous for their artworks. An optional visit to the Yirrkala’s art centre will be included in your experience today. This is one of the finest indigenous art galleries in Australia.

The seas surrounding the Gove Peninsula boast some of the best tropical sport and reef fishing opportunities available anywhere in the world and the area is now being acclaimed as one of the last great fishing frontiers.
