Landing at Maralinga (YMRA)?

Continuing with the theme of remote SA strips, does anyone know if it's possible to land at the (very large and sealed) strip at Maralinga (YMRA) these days?

(Copy these co-ords into Google Earth to see what I mean.. S30.165 E131.625 )

The entire Maralinga range has supposedly been decontaminated, rehabilitated and 'given back' to the indigenous community (interesting Aus Geo article on it a few months back), however I'm not quite sure what the arrangement is for visiting the old Maralinga village, or landing on its strip.
Has anyone been there, landed there or flown over it recently?
Any info appreciated! IORRA

Ps. Continuing with the atomic test site theme, has anyone landed at Emu Junction (YEMJ) further north?
