One of the most significant Aboriginal rock art galleries in the world — layers of paintings accumulated over 40,000 years on the sheltered walls of an Arnhem Land outlier. The main gallery shows X-ray art depicting fish, animals, and Mimi spirit figures. The sunset lookout above the site overlooks the Nadab floodplains. Ubirr contains some of the world's oldest continuously maintained rock art galleries. The site has cultural Dreaming significance that predates Egyptian civilisation.
