It's a bit of a hike to get to the top but once you've made it up there you soon forget about the climb. Spectacular 360 degree views of the wetlands and Kakadu

Wonderful artwork. Worth doing the moderately steep climb to the lookout and seeing the fabulous view.
The Nourlangie rock site is about a 30 minute drive from Jabiru and is clearly sign-posted. Bitumen all the way so it will probably be accessible when other sites are closed. Take your time to enjoy the approx. 1.2km walk through native vegetation and ancient art galleries. Uneven ground and stairs in parts of the route. Even in April it...

We walked a circuit which took us through a huge shelter cave, past several rock art sites and up to a brilliant lookout over the Kakadu escarpment. It was hot and steamy and the circuit involved some climbing. With most other sites closed during our visit to Kakadu, we were pleased we got to visit this one.
But fortunately dry, but very hot! Take plenty of water and I used a brollie to keep of the heat which worked wonders. make sure you go up the rougher track to the left as you first enter as it goes all thorough the rocks, cave overhangs. Excellent quality and clarity of Aboriginal rock art.
Ubirr has probably more art, but we enjoyed seeing the Aboriginal art again. Parks need to do a bit of work on signage which is rather tired and in some places ambiguous. Some of the tracks from one art site to the other are unclear and could do with small arrows to help people who aren't used to the Australian...

It’s true the signage in Kakadu is looking a bit tired – it has been here for many years now. The good news is that we are working on new interpretational signage in consultation with the traditional owners. These will aim to capture the thoughts and feelings of the traditional owners. We hope you’ll visit again in the future –...

Visited in the heat of he mid day sun and had the place almost to ourselves. Here you are at one with nature, loved the opportunity to learn more about the connection between the indigenous people and the land, through admiring the ancient art work. Do not miss!
It’s pretty wonderful to share those huge vistas with just the birds - but we don’t recommend walking in the heat of the midday sun at this time of year. It’s safest to limit activities to the cooler parts of the day, and to drink plenty of water. Dehydration can ruin your holiday – and can be fatal. Regards, Tanya

A place that feels rather spiritual, a must see where you will sit and just absorb nature at it's best, see aboriginal art and leave feeling how wonderful our world is.
Just what we would hope to hear! Sounds as though you had the perfect visit. Regards, Tanya

A must see on a visit to Kakadu. Some parts have disabled access and others, especially the lookout view are quite difficult to access in some sections. But the views are very good and the art sites impressive.
This is a great site for short walks aound a great escarpment area taking in Aborigial rock art sites along the way
