Kakadu
20000 BCE – 1900 CE
One of the richest and longest continuous rock art galleries on Earth — thousands of painted sites across the stone country of Australia's Northern Territory, some layers dating back tens of thousands of years, others depicting 19th- and 20th-century European sailing ships, forming an unbroken visual record of Aboriginal life, belief, and history painted by the same cultural tradition across an almost unimaginable span of time. Traditional land of the Bininj and Mungguy peoples, Kakadu is one of the few places on Earth inscribed by UNESCO for both its natural and cultural World Heritage value.
