To understand something of the connection Kakadu's Aboriginal owners have with this special part of the Top End, spend some time at the Warradjan Cultural Centre learning the stories that gave them their laws. Start with how the first people created the land, plants and animals. Aboriginal people developed this centre so they could share their culture. The building has been styled in the shape of the pig-nosed turtle, Warradjan, and is based on the theme - 'our land is our life'. Allow at least an hour to view and appreciate this attraction.
