Nanguluwurr Art Site Walk
A 3.4 km Grade 3 cultural trail to one of Kakadu’s significant and less hurried rock-art sites.
Route overview
Cross woodland to a major rock-art shelter with diverse traditional and contact-period imagery.
Nanguluwurr offers a longer approach than the main Burrungkuy galleries and rewards hikers with a quieter cultural site containing multiple artistic periods. The walk should be treated as a visit to living cultural heritage, not simply an outdoor attraction.
