Nourlangie+Area

There are two main attractions in the Nourlangie Area. They are the Rock Art Sites and the walking tracks.

There are many different walking tracks that you can take, some you can only go in the Dry Season. Here is a list of all the walking tracks you can take.
 * Walking Tracks**

1. The Nooralangie Lookout Walk- is a circular walk past an Aboriginal shelter that is ancient. There are also several rock art sites. The Gunwarddehwardde lookout provides amazing views of Kakadu's hills and slopes and Nourlangie Rock. It is an easy walk that is 1.5km, which takes an hour.

2. The Anbangbang Billabong Walk (dry season only) - is another circular walk which has the view of Nourlangie Rock in the background and one of Kakadus most stunning billabongs. It is a good idea to bring some lunch as when you get to Anbangbang Billabong there are some picnic tables to sit and enjoy the view. It's an easy walk that takes 1 hour, it is 2.5km.

3. The Nawurlandja Walk- Is an easy walk that should only take 40 minutes. Once you get up the moderately steep slope you get to see great views of the hills and slopes and Anbangbang Billabong. It is a 600 metre walk.

4. The Nanguluwur Art Site Walk- an easy walk that takes about 2 hours. It takes you through woodlands and leads you to a peaceful rock art site that features some amazing and very different Aboriginal rock art. The walk is 3.4km.

5. The Gubara Pools Walk (dry season only) - takes you past sandstone cliffs to shady and calm moonsoon forest pools. This is an enjoyable place to spend the day to get away from the heat. It is an easy walk that should take 4 hours. The distance is 6.4km.

6. The Bubba Walk (dry season only) - an easy walk that is 3.5km and takes 2 hours. The walk that starts at the entrance of Muirella Park Camping Area features many wetland habitats. It is a circular walk.

7. The Mirrai Lookout Walk (dry season only) - this walk is a moderately difficult walk because it is a steep climb. It is 3.6km and takes one and a half hours. The walk leads you to a platform lookout on top of Mount Cahill.

8. The Barrk Bushwalk- this is a difficult walk that is 12km and takes 8 hours. The walk branches off the Nourlangie Lookout Walk, past the Main Gallery in the Nourlangie Area. You go through the sandstone country of Nourlangie, then past the Nanguluwur Art Gallery and finish back at the car park.

Aboriginals one lived under the rock for twenty thousand years making it an amazing attraction at Kakadu National Park. In the 1980's archeoligists dug up bones, strings and other interesting objects. Visitors come to see the cultural drawings on the ceiling of the rock. I think that it would be really cool to see all the different types of drawings.
