Kakadu National Park Sights
Ubirr
Ubirr Review
Ubirr has an impressive display of Aboriginal paintings scattered through six shelters in the rock. The main gallery contains a 49-foot frieze of X-ray paintings depicting animals, birds, and fish. A 1-km (½-mi) path around the rock leads to all the galleries. It's just a short clamber to the top for wonderful views over the surrounding wetlands, particularly at sunset. Stop in at the Border Store and Cafe on your way in; they do lunch and a post-sunset dinner and sell arts and crafts.
