Club in Focus: Gove Boat Club (GBC)

Gove Boat Club (GBC) is located at Melville Bay 12km from the town of Nhulunbuy at the top of the Gulf of Carpentaria in East Arnhem Land, NT. The club is an integral part of the township especially since fishing is a popular pastime of locals with most people owning a boat of some kind, as such the boat ramp is always busy with a steady stream of boats going in and out most days.
