## Description

Set on Melville Island — Australia's second-largest island after Tasmania — Garden Point Airport (GPN) opens access to the Tiwi community of Pirlangimpi in the far north of the Northern Territory. Light aircraft on charter and regional services link the field with Darwin, carrying passengers, mail and small urgent shipments. The real provisioning of the Tiwi Islands moves by sea barge from Darwin, and GPN has no cargo terminal. For forwarders the airport is a feeder for people and priority freight, while food and building materials arrive by water. The Tiwi Islands are renowned for their distinctive art and their passion for Australian Rules football.
