Arnhem Land, Protected region in Northern Territory, Australia
Arnhem Land encompasses 97,000 square kilometers of wilderness between Port Roper and East Alligator River in northern Australia.
Dutch captain Willem van Colster discovered and named Cape Arnhem in 1623 during his expedition through the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Indigenous Yolngu people maintain their ancestral traditions through ceremonies, bark paintings, and rock art dating back 60,000 years.
Visitors need permits from the Northern Land Council and Aboriginal organizations to enter this protected Aboriginal reserve.
The Arnhem Space Centre near Nhulunbuy hosted NASA's first rocket launch from a commercial facility outside the United States in 2022.
