Dreamtime Stories in Kakadu & Uluru
Some of the most well-known Dreamtime stories can be experienced at Kakadu National Park and Uluru.
In Kakadu, ancient rock art records creation stories, ancestral beings, and seasonal knowledge. At Uluru, every cave, ridge, and waterhole has a story tied to the Anangu people and Tjukurpa.
Learning Dreamtime Stories Respectfully
Not all Dreamtime stories are public. Some knowledge is sacred and restricted. The most respectful way to learn is through Aboriginal-led cultural tours and ranger talks.
