Covering more than 110,000 square kilometres, Kakadu National Park and Arnhem Land are home to the longest continuing surviving human culture in the world. With diverse landscapes setting the scene for outback adventure travel, aboriginal culture and nature activities, even a short visit to this beautiful area will convince visitors of its deep significance.

Kakadu National Park is the largest national park in Australia, and has been world heritage listed twice, once for its environmental importance and again for its cultural importance. A haven for a wide range of wildlife, the park shelters a variety of habitats and animals including saltwater crocodiles. The Kakadu National Park also contains one of the highest concentrated areas of aboriginal rock art sites in the world, the most famous at Nourlangie Rock and Ubirr.

Known for its strong aboriginal culture, Arnhem Land is wholly aboriginal owned boasting towering escarpments, savannah woodlands, lush wetlands, wild coastline and prolific wildlife. With forests, spectacular rivers and stunning gorges, Arnhem Land continues to be an Aboriginal homeland and is sacred to its people.

Although a major tourist attraction, innumerable sacred sites are forever hidden and visitors are forbidden to enter. Some sites do allow travellers a glimpse of what may lie within, however the mysteries of Arnhem Land remain.

To view magnificent rock art and experience world renowned natural beauty, visit Kakadu and Arnhem Land.
