Wander through Kakadu and discover ancient stories etched in stone. At sites like Ubirr and Nourlangie, the rock art spans thousands of years, showcasing Dreamtime stories, traditional life, and spiritual beings such as Namarrgon, the Lightning Man. These artworks aren’t just beautiful, they’re living history, offering a powerful glimpse into the culture and connection of the world’s oldest continuing civilisation. A visit to Kakadu is a journey through both land and time.
