In the north-eastern corner of the Northern Territory is a region of nearly 34,000km with a population of barely 16,000 souls, the overwhelming majority of which are traditional owners living on ‘outstations’ far from European influences. Access isn’t guaranteed, and those who do venture in are confronted with an isolation equalled by very few places in the world. Greg Murdock of Southern Cross Motorbike Tours had an opportunity to ride the area and he didn’t hesitate.
The ride was epic and special thanks go to the traditional owners of the land of the land for allowing access.
Hainsey! We got ’em!” “Got what?” queried a bemused Brian Haines.
“The permits for Arnhem Land have been approved!” I bellowed in reply.
“Shit hot!” blurted Hainsie.
