Gunbarrel Highway
-
Ngaanyatjarra Council Permit (WA): Required for the section between Wiluna and Warburton (including the Heather Highway if used as an alternative). This is often the most critical permit, as access to the “abandoned” original section of the Gunbarrel is frequently denied; travelers are usually directed to use the Heather Highway instead.
-
Western Australia Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage Permit: A second form often required in conjunction with the Ngaanyatjarra Council permit for transit through WA native title lands.
