Rock Art in Northern Territory.
The Ubirr pictograph sites are part of the Kakdu National Park. Most of the art here is thought to be about 2000 years old, but has been repainted, with some examples repainted into modern times.
The art is painted in several rock outcrops on the edge of the Nadab floodplain. The images include depictions of Aboriginal creation ancestors, and a wide range of wildlife in the "x-ray" style.
The site is accessible from a paved road and a car park.
