UNESCO World Heritage Property
Kakadu National Park was founded in 1981 and is part of the World Heritage programme since 1992. This unique archaeological and ethnological reserve, located in the Northern Territory of Australia, has been inhabited continuously for more than 40,000 years. The cave paintings, rock carvings and archaeological sites record the skills and way of life of the region’s inhabitants, from the hunter-gatherers of prehistoric times to the Aboriginal people still living there. It is a unique example of a complex of ecosystems, including tidal flats, floodplains, lowlands and plateaux, and provides a habitat for a wide range of rare or endemic species of plants and animals.
