  1. Port Overview

  1. Nhulunbuy, Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia

  2. Nhulunbuy is the name of the township created on the Gove Peninsula in the Northern Territory of Australia when a bauxite mine and deep water port were established nearby in the late 1960s. This area in Northeast Arnhem Land has been home to the Yolngu Aboriginal people for at least 40,000 years.

    Nhulunbuy is set on the Gove Peninsula, right on the Arafura Sea, with pristine wilderness areas just a stone's throw away. Nhulunbuy is heaven for sailors, anglers, four wheel drive adventurers, bush walkers and bird watchers. Locals enjoy fishing, boating, and four wheel drive excursions to exquisite beach and wilderness areas.
    The Gove Peninsula has three outstanding art centres, Nambara Arts and Crafts near Nhulunbuy, Buku Larrngay Mulka in Yirrkala and Elcho Island Art and Craft.
