Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory
kakadunationalpark.com
Deep in the Kakadu National Park in Australia’s remote Northern Territory lies the remarkable Nourlangie Rock, a spectacular geological rock formation that’s also home to one of the most authentic examples of Aboriginal culture and lifestyle in Australia. Famous for its walking trails, lookouts, and billabongs (ox-bow lakes), the site is spread over lower and higher levels of the main rock, and include rock art sites such as the famous Lightning Man, the Gunwarddehwardde lookout point, and the famous Burrunggui overhang. It’s believed that Aborigines sheltered here as far back as 20 000 years ago, and while the original clan that occupied the area has since died out, the stories of the sacred region, its trails and art work are recounted by current aboriginal elders and guides who look after it. Alongside Ayers Rock this is not to be missed.
