G'day All,
              With the number of folks who seem to be headed our way to
twitch the beautiful Princesses, I thought I might just throw in my two bobs
worth as there seem to be a few confused messages about permission.

Basically, in the area we are talking about you can't go anywhere without
permission from somebody and you need to arrange this in advance as it could
take some time. The Mereenie Loop Pass is the least of your troubles as this
is quickly and cheaply available from the petrol station at King's Canyon,
Glen Helen Resort, or Ntaria Store (Hermannsburg). Worth remembering that
this allows you only to transit the road - you can't camp out overnight and
you can't leave the road. Anywhere deeper in the area and you will need a
permit from the Central Land Council (easy to do online but allow some
weeks) or permission from one of the mining lease holders - Magellan/Santos.

Happy hunting!
