About About the place

Anbangbang Rock Shelter, located in the lower area of Nourlangie, is a significant cultural and geological site. The overhanging rocks provided essential shelter for generations, and the site features well-preserved Aboriginal rock art. Visitors appreciate the easy accessibility, informative signage, and the breathtaking views, particularly at sunset. It's important to respect the traditional owners and adhere to signage regarding photography restrictions and proper naming conventions – Anbangbang is the correct name, not Nourlangie.

Best season
