Thanks to Warwick our guide for helping us understand the top level implications of the rock paintings. These are very extensive and well preserved including the “do not photograph” one. Good...

Another amazing stop in the Kakadu National Park with beautiful paintings. Wear sensible shoes as the short but steep hike to the lookout as part of the walk trail is nice.

Well worth the 400m walk to see the rock art. Its a shame the weather has washed away some paintings. Wear good hiking shoes or sneakers.
