The Valenki Cultural Center is located in Cooinda in Kakadu National Park, very close to the Yellow River. Items such as knock-knock wood, candy bag fixtures, and rock art samples are displayed here. Someone will introduce you to the half-even system, language and skin names. There is also a small theater, which is a good place to learn about the local Aboriginal culture.Kakadu · 24.7 km from downtown

Like Norangi Rock, Aboriginal paintings on the rock can also be admired here. Beautiful petroglyphs in a variety of styles, from different centuries, with an enchanting sense of serenity. Most of the main gallery is filled with pictures of kangaroos, turtles and fish, the subject of Aboriginal paintings about 8,000 years ago. Even earlier than these are "mimi" paintings of gods: said to have been painted on rocks by the first creators - and given that there were no vehicle lifts in 6000 BC, you might really think that there were no other than gods One can paint on rocks at such heights and angles. Although the legend cannot be verified for the time being, it casts a strange and eerie color on Ubirryan. The majestic Nardab Lookout here requires a 250-meter climb from the entrance to the main gallery. Standing on the observation deck, you can patrol the exotic waterlogged plain area, watch the sun set and the moon rise at the same time. Although it is not uncommon for the sun and the moon to coexist, it is not uncommon to stand in such an empty and ancient land. Seeing the sun and the moon greet each other, one can't help but feel that the world is so vast!Kakadu · 60.9 km from downtown

Norangi Rock is a valuable cultural heritage that has coexisted with this land since tens of thousands of years ago. The fantastic and magnificent sight presented by the exposed layer of Norangi Rock makes it easy for you to understand its important position in the hearts of the indigenous people. Long lines of red sandstone (with orange, white and black streaks in some places) slope up from the surrounding woodland and disappear at one end of the stepped cliff. Below the rock is Kakadu's famous rock art site. The petroglyphs depict the lives of the natives and their imaginary figures. In the back light of the rock, you can find traces of indigenous life. The 2km loop first passes through the Anbangbang Rockshelter, which has been used as a refuge and canvas for over 20,000 years. Next up is the Anbangbang Gallery, which showcases figures from Aboriginal fantasy drawn during the 1960s. Not far away is the Gunwarddehwarde Lookout, where you can admire the Arnhem Land (Arnhem Land).Kakadu · 42.4 km from downtown

Visitors to the northern region for the first time must visit here.

Litchfield National Park, located 120 kilometers south of Darwin, takes about 2 hours by car. This is a sandstone cliff area that has been weathered for many years. There are four spectacular streams gushing out of underground springs, four spectacular waterfalls rushing down from the edge of the plateau, natural pools for tourists to swim safely, and all kinds of strange wild animals.Australia · Litchfield Park

Nolangi Rocks is a very spectacular group of rocks. Here, huge rocks stand on the flat grassland. Some of them look like animals, some like monuments, and some like alien spaceships. All of them are very interesting. Nolangi Rocks is also a famous photo-taking spot here and it is definitely not to be missed.

I didn't expect that there is such a good museum in this small city. I saw many very impressive and imaginative works of art in it. In fact, I think the most important thing here is the art.

Lichfeld National Park, a resort that locals find more suitable than Kakadu, is full of giant dumplings left by termites for up to 50 years. The waterfalls in the mountains are so clear and refreshing that the whole family of the local people come to swim. The pools formed by the waterfalls in the mountains have become natural swimming pools.

I don't know why, but this place always gives me the feeling of a fishing village, especially this beach. There aren't too many people here in the evening, just a few sailboats here and there, like small boats returning from fishing.
