There's more to Kakadu than water....

.....there are rocks.
And where there are rocks there is amazing rock art.
We're told that this rock art can be more than 20,000 years old! Seems incredible doesn't it?

We saw rock art at Nourlangie, Nanguluwurr near Jabiru and Ubirr in the very eastern side just near the border with Arnhenland.

One of the special things about aboriginal rock art is that because the paintings tell a story and are for the moment, they can be painted over by another story. Touching up someone else's painting is not allowed but putting your own picture over the top is OK.
So sometimes you can see the various layers of images and if you stare or gaze at the walls more images can pop out. Just like those 3D images that were popular a while back. (Except these aren't 3D)

 There are also rocks to walk around, climb on, and watch the sunset from.
