Kakadu National Park has been home to Australia’s Indigenous people for some 50,000 years, tending the land and creating a rich and diverse cultural heritage. The park is home to some of the oldest artworks on the planet. These rock art galleries tell the story of the oldest living continuous culture on the planet, with galleries found across the parklands. These sheltered rock formations have protected these artworks for thousands of years opening a window into Australia’s distant past, and stories across the millennia.

Kakadu is perhaps known best for its wildlife as one of the largest nature reserves in the world and the largest in Australia.
