Step back in time as you enter Aboriginal rock shelters and rock art galleries in the Nourlangie region of Kakadu National Park. Be awestruck with stunning Aboriginal rock drawings as you hike along a 1.5-km circular walk around the ancient art sites. History is literally at your feet.

The Aboriginal people still live in Kakadu continuously for at least 40,000 years and this place is open for visitors to learn something about their ancestors’ lives.

1. Take an easy walk to Anbangbang Gallery and the Shelter to see rock art painted by the Aboriginal people in the past.

Rock art depicts the history and culture of the Aboriginal people. They painted on the walls of the shelters where they resided. Drawings on rocks were effectively used as a form of communication to bring across instructions as well as consequences of broken rules. Different ochres are used as painting pigments in rock art.

The most prominent rock art at the Anbangbang Gallery depicts Namanjolg (the largest figure in the centre) and Namarrgon (on the right of Namondjok). Namanjolg is the Creation Ancestor who broke the incest laws with his sister. Namarrgon is the lightning man capable of splitting the dark clouds and striking lightning and thunder.

This rock art illustrates a woman who caught a kangaroo and hunting another. Auspiciously, the purpose of drawing animals was to increase abundance and the human was included to be in touch with the animal spirit to ensure a successful hunt.

Rock painting of the dangerous spirit called Nabulwinjbulwinj (pronounced as “Nar-bull-win-bull-win”) who eats females after striking them with a yam. It is said to serve as a warning to females not to wander around that area.

More rock paintings on the wall. The paintings are commonly superimposed and this enables different painting styles to be dated.

Rock Art: Hand stencils.

2. Take a moderately steep climb up to Gunwarrdehwarrde Lookout for a mesmerizing spectacle of Kakadu’s escarpment and gaze across the vastness of Nourlangie. Be carried away to some 50,000 years ago.

To the Aboriginal people, this rock formation is not any ordinary rock but a site that represents the incest law that was broken by Namanjolg and his sister. To punish Namanjolg, the family sought out for him and found him dancing around a fire on top of this Feather Rock. He was pushed into the fire. Covered with ash, Namanjolg plunged into a billabong and became a crocodile.

The Feather Rock is an example to convey a message to educate the Aboriginal people that it is wrong to involve in incestuous relationship.

Lightning Dreaming – Namarrgon Djadjam

Quote: “We speak in our own language so we can say what we mean.” In Singapore, we have Singlish though it’s often frowned upon.

3. If time permits, you can go for the 12 km Barrk walk to see the sandstone vegetation on top of Burrunggui and soak in the panoramic views. Some parts are steep and it takes 5 to 6 hours. Moderate fitness is required.

Hours: Open 8:00 am until sunset.

Australia / Kakadu National Park / Northern Territory ?

The world’s famous Yellow Water Billabong – Kakadu’s World Heritage wetlands – are abounding with a diversity of birdlife, wildlife and rich vegetations. The Yellow Water land-locked billabong forms part of the South Alligator River floodplain and has long been the Aboriginal people’s important food gathering area.

An amazing way to soak in nature’s bounty at Yellow Water is to venture out into the wetlands with Yellow Water Cruises. The boat ramp is merely a few minutes walk away from where we stayed at Gagudju Lodge Cooinda. The indigenous owned Yellow Water Cruises will take you on a 2-hour ride to a whole new world into an aviary kingdom where huge nests, parrots, kingfishers, hawks, egrets and other migratory birds prevail with nature at its best. Try to spot saltwater crocodiles as you glide along the lily-infested wetlands.

Along the cruise, we spotted some crocodiles resting under the shade. The guide shared that typically, a crocodile that has a body as long as an adult human poses more threat as it may attack the human, as compared to a smaller crocodile. Nonetheless, common sense tells us that we have to stay off these cold-blooded predators.

There are some areas where we can’t access and it’s believed to be infested with many crocodiles. Just look at the bite holes on the float.
