Starting from the Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) Parking lot, Kakadu, this circuit walk explores the southeastern base of Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) where there is a comprehensive rock art site, visiting two lookouts and an ancient Aboriginal shelter along the way. Go back in time as you view some of the oldest and most remarkable rock art on the planet as you make your way through the eucalypt woodland. There are 20.000-year-old pieces as well as more recent ones depicting interactions with other people. The Gunwarddehwardde Lookout lets you view the vast savannah woodlands while the Nawurlandja Lookout provides you exceptional views across the Arnhem Land escarpment. Time your walk and watch the sunset from one of these lookouts as you listen to the sound of kookaburras and cockatoos. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
