Rock Art in Northern Territory.
Kakadu National Park is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia, 171 km southeast of Darwin. The park contains the art sites of Ubirr, Burrunguy (Nourlangie Rock) and Nanguluwur, all internationally recognized as outstanding examples of Aboriginal rock art.
These sites, and thousands of others, are found in rocky outcrops that have afforded shelter to Aboriginal inhabitants for thousands of years. Aboriginal people have occupied the Kakadu area continuously for at least 40,000 years.
