The Gove Peninsula used to be occupied by the Yolngu Aborigines once. These native dwellers traded with the Macassan trepangus through the Arafura Sea. In 1931 the area was included into Arnhem Land but during World War II, the area became a major air force base with a population of over 5 000 servicemen because of the imminent threat of a Japanese invasion on Australia's northern coastline. The peninsula was named after a Pilot Officer William Gove, who unfortunately got killed in action in 1943. Flightshotelstours.com offers details information on cheap flights to Gove.
