Kuḻpi Muṯitjulu (Muṯitjulu Rock Art Cave) is currently closed due to previous damage in this area.

The site will remain closed until at least mid-2025 to allow for upgrades to security and visitor access at the site, in accordance with the wishes of Aṉangu. The upgrades will provide Aṉangu with assurance that sufficient protection is in place prevent further damage to the remaining irreplaceable rock art.

We thank visitors and the tourism industry for their understanding and apologise for any inconvenience.

Kuḻpi Muṯitjulu (the Muṯitjulu Cave) is the family cave. For many generations, Aṉangu families camped here.

The men would hunt for kuka (meat), and the women and children would collect mai (bush foods). The foods would be brought back here to share.

Generations of Aṉangu families told stories around the campfire here, teaching children and painting on the rock. These stories are still kept and handed down to Aṉangu children today.

The Muṯitjulu Cave has many examples of concentric circles, which can represent a waterhole, a campsite or a place of significance. Multiple concentric circles linked by lines may represent a journey. How many of these can you see?

Visit the Muṯitjulu Cave on the Kuniya walk.
