Aboriginal rock painting of a turtle at Ubirr, in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Top End, Australia


Kakadu National Park is a living cultural landscape, inhabited continuously by its Aboriginal traditional owners for more than 50,000 years. The region's cave paintings, rock carvings and archaeological sites record the skills and way of life, from the hunter-gatherers of prehistoric times to the Aboriginal people - Bininj/Mungguy - who still live in the park today. Kakadu is also home to a unique mosaic of ecosystems, including tidal flats, floodplains, lowlands and plateaus, which provide habitat for a wide range of rare or endemic plants and animals.
