First Contact Rock Art

Nanguluwurr Rock Art Walk

Nanguluwurr art site walk is a peaceful walk through woodlands, leading to a cool, quiet Aboriginal rock art site.

Nanguluwurr was a major camping site for Aboriginal people.

Here you’ll find paintings covering many different styles, including hand stencils, food sources like fish and turtle, a fantastic example of ‘contact art’, a painting of a two-masted sailing ship (lugger). Sit and ponder why there is a painting of a sailing ship some 90 kms inland and nowhere near a waterway!

Then learn about female spirit Algaihgo and why you should heed the messages from the dream time.

3.4 km return | 2 hours
