Started the day with an 86km trip to Ubirr to see Aboriginal Rock Art. Advice to everyone. Before leaving your hotel in the Northern Territory, check to see if the places you plan to attend are open. As many of the tourist and heritage sites are owned by the indigenous Aboriginals, they observe mourning of elders and close various sites as a sign of respect. This was the case this morning with Ubirr. It was disappointing but when travelling the unexpected occurs and in this instance it is important to follow and respect the traditions. I went to the next stop on my way to Katherine, Nourlangie (Burrungkuy)
There is a track which is well signposted. The Shelter is a little steep but not too difficult. Just make sure to take lots of water for these walks
I was so excited to see sacred rock art and the stories are thousands of years old.
My favourite piece is this which represents singing and dancing
The walk up to the lookout looks more difficult than it is and worth doing.
