Where culture, land and story meet

Gwion Gwion

Visit the graceful Gwion Gwion figures, so ancient they appear to have become part of the rock itself — untouched by the elements and beyond precise scientific dating.

Current estimates suggest they may be around 28,500 years old, with some theories placing them even earlier. Even the natural pigments used in these remarkable artworks remain a mystery.

According to legend, they were painted by the sandstone strike thrush, using its tail feathers and blood.

Typically found high on rock faces with sweeping views, these elegant figures are often painted in groups and feature detailed human forms adorned with sashes, bangles, and tassels.

This extraordinary rock art continues to intrigue researchers around the world. Ongoing archaeological studies in the region are helping to uncover more about its origins and may hold important clues to the story of the first Australians.

Wandjina Art

With permission from Traditional Owners, visitors can experience Wandjina rock art — some of the most powerful and visually striking cultural imagery in the Kimberley.

In Aboriginal culture, Wandjina are creator beings of the Dreaming, responsible for shaping the land and everything within it.

Depicted with large eyes, elaborate headpieces, and mouthless faces, Wandjina are deeply spiritual figures. It is believed they hold great power over the elements — able to bring rain, lightning, or storms if disrespected.

Access to these sites is a privilege, and visitors are asked to show the utmost respect at all times.
