In Kakadu National Park you will discover spectacular rock paintings as the Nourlangie rock. Here are some of the paintings you can observe, Namondjok, Mamarrgon, Barrginj and Nabulwinjbulwinj. These paintings are very sacred to the aboriginal people. When you are visiting the rock galleries it is forbidden to touch the paintings. In the year 1980 there has been an archaeological dig at Anbangbang rock shelter where they found that the aboriginal people have been using the shelter for around twenty thousand years. The aboriginal people say that the shelter has been used by the Warramal clan, the owners of the area. When you visit the Kakadu National Park you will be able to learn a lot about the customs and culture of the ancient aboriginal people who have been living in the area. So do not miss to visit the place when you are in the Northern Territory.
