The rock art of Kakadu National Park is more than just beautiful, it’s one of the oldest continuous storytelling traditions on Earth!
Scattered across escarpments and shelters, these ancient artworks share stories of Creation, Country, animals and daily life, passed down for tens of thousands of years. Places like Ubirr and Nourlangie (Burrungkuy) offer a powerful glimpse into the deep cultural connection Traditional Owners have with this land.
If you visit Kakadu, take your time, join a ranger walk if you can, and experience these sacred stories with the respect they deserve.
