Aboriginals, fishing on a traditional way, Arnhem Land, Australia.
Arnhem Land in Northern Australia also covers the area of Kakadu National Park and the Garig Gunak Barlu National Park at the Cobourg Peninsula. Declared an Aboriginal Reserve in 1931, it remains one of the largest Aboriginal Reserves in Australia and is perhaps best known for its remoteness, its art, and the strong continuing traditions of its Indigenous inhabitants. It is notable for its Aboriginal rock-art, some of the finest examples of which can be found at Ubirr Rock, Injalak Hill, and in the Canon Hill area. Northeast Arnhem Land is home to the indigenous Yolngu people, one of the largest Indigenous groups in Australia, and one who have succeeded in maintaining a vigorous traditional indigenous culture. The climate of Arnhem Land is tropical monsoon with a wet and dry season. As Arnhem Land is Aboriginal land most of it is blocked off from independent travelers, however people can visit the north western and north eastern corners of Cobourg Peninsula and Gove, and Oenpelli near Kakadu's East Alligator River with the Injalaj Arts and Crafts Association.
