Burrunguy Rock Art Shelter

A sandstone shelter on the lower slopes of Nourlangie Rock containing some of the finest X-ray art in Kakadu — detailed paintings of fish, turtles, and the Nabulwinjbulwinj spirit figure painted in white and ochre. The shelter shows accumulated layers of repainting across thousands of years. The Burrunguy shelter is where some of the most technically refined Kakadu rock art is located. The X-ray paintings — showing internal organ structures — represent a unique artistic tradition.
