Kakadu National Park
This unique archaeological and ethnological reserve,
located in the Northern Territory, has been inhabited continuously for
more than 40,000 years. The cave paintings, rock carvings and
archaeological sites record the skills and way of life of the region’s
inhabitants, from the hunter-gatherers of prehistoric times to the
Aboriginal people still living there. It is a unique example of a
complex of ecosystems, including tidal flats, floodplains, lowlands and
plateaux, and provides a habitat for a wide range of rare or endemic
species of plants and animals.
