Belyuen Community Government Council cyclone guide¶
Belyuen is on the eastern side of the Cox Peninsula, about 20 km south of Mandorah and 128 km by road from Darwin. The Belyuen Community Government Council is the local council; its website lists a main office line but no local emergency page, so use the Territory's NT Emergency Service (132 500 for help in floods, storms and cyclones) and 000 in an emergency. The council's pages also say there are no public transport services on the Cox Peninsula, and a ferry runs between Darwin and Mandorah.
