| The area boasts the longest
continuous surviving human culture in the world. Aborigines
have been living in this region for at least 40,000 years. The
descendants of these First Australians still live in Kakadu
today. The Kakadu National Park staff always welcome you and
on behalf of the Aboriginal traditional owners to Kakadu National
Park and hope you will enjoy learning about culture, land and
caring for country. Kakadu Park is a true cultural landscape.
It was shaped by the spiritual ancestors of Aboriginal people
during the Creation Time. The ancestors (first people) journeyed
across the country creating landforms, plants, animals and Bininj/Mungguy*
(Aboriginal people). They came with their laws to live by: ceremonies,
languages, kinship's and ecological knowledge. They taught Bininj/
Mungguy how to live with the land and look after the country.
|
| Kakadu and the Arnhem Land Escarpment contain one
of the longest continuous records of rock art in the world,
with around 5,000 recorded and identified galleries of Aboriginal
paintings. Kakadu contains an uniqueartistical living cultural
landscape of Aboriginal art. Ubirr and Nourlangie
Rock are two of the most pristine public sites that feature
Aboriginal Cultural Rock Art and previous dwelling shelters. |
| Approximately 50% of the land in the park is Aboriginal land
under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976,
and most of the remaining area of land is under claim by Aboriginal
people. Title to Aboriginal land in the park is held by Aboriginal
land trusts. |
