Experience Murujuga

“As the Aboriginal Custodians of this land, we want to share our culture and stories with you.”

Join our Rangers, who are Murujuga Traditional Custodians, on a 1.5 hour rock art and cultural experience at Nganjarli (previously known as Deep Gorge).

To local Indigenous people, Murujuga is a sacred place where you will find the famed petroglyphs  -ancient rock art engravings of cultural significance.

There are an estimated one to two million rock art images, some up to 50,000 years old, in Murujuga National Park and on the surrounding land and islands. The rock art tells the stories of our country and our intrinsic link to it.

Rock Art Tours take place Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting at 8am. Cultural Awareness Training, for the public, is available on Wednesdays only.
