rWotD Episode 2710: Daly River Road Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Friday, 4 October 2024 is Daly River Road.The Daly River Road is a designated state route in the Northern Territory of Australia providing access to the settlements of Daly River (Nauiyu), Peppimenarti and Wadeye (Port Keats). The road was upgraded and sealed between Dorat Road and Daly River (approximately 77 km (48 mi)), skirting the southern boundary of Litchfield National Park in late 2007 to allow better access for an increasing volume of tourist traffic heading into the region, known for good fishing during the dry season. The remaining distance between the Daly River crossing and Wadeye remains unsealed and suitable for four-wheel drive vehicles depending on weather conditions.In 2011, the Northern Territory Government began construction of a new bridge crossing the Daly River. The cost of the project was reportedly valued at $22.6 million, involving a new 184m span carrying a pedestrian path and a single lane roadway across the river on a higher level and straighter alignment than the existing crossing, providing better year round access. The bridge has been designed to allow an additional lane to be added to the roadway should the need arise.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:20 UTC on Friday, 4 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Daly River Road on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.

A covid vaccination program is about to be rolled out to NT indigenous communities. One step ahead is Captain Sanitiser and his community of Wadeye, 4 and half hours south west of Darwin. Capt Sanitiser, aka Dallas Mugarra, is making another of his slapstick social media videos in community language - this time about vaccination.

It offers Wadeye students a residential and leadership program.

The motorbike ride is raising awareness of COVID-19 and raising money for the Thamarrurr Youth Indigenous Corporation a non for profit organisation from Wadeye in the Northern Territory.

"Bush Court" is based on a simple premise. If you live in a remote Australia, you won't be forced to travel to the city to seek justice. Instead, justice will come to you. It's kind of like a judicial roadshow with a judge, prosecutor, and defence team touring 30 Indigenous communities across the Northern Territory each year. Unfortunately, despite having dozens of matters to resolve, they don't stay longer than a day or two. But does the fast food of justice deliver the best outcomes? Allan Clarke investigates.
