Arnhem Land, located in the Northern Territory of Australia, is home to the Yolŋu people, whose culture is among the oldest living cultures on Earth, stretching back more than 60,000 years. 

Arnhem Land, located in the Northern Territory of Australia, is home to the Yolŋu people, whose culture is among the oldest living cultures on Earth, stretching back more than 60,000 years. Yolŋu life is divided into two moieties: Dhuwa and Yirritja, with all aspects of life falling into one of these categories. The complex kinship system, known as gurrutu, governs the fundamental aspects of Yolŋu life, including responsibilities for ceremony and marriage rules. The region is known for the cultural power of the Yolngu people. The Garma Festival, Australia's largest Indigenous gathering, is a four-day celebration of Yolŋu life and culture held annually in remote northeast Arnhem Land, showcasing traditional art, song, dance, and storytelling. East Arnhem Land is a living, growing exhibition over 60,000 years in the making.

East Arnhem Land is home to some of Australia’s richest and most diverse Indigenous art centres and galleries. Connecting art and cultural attractions, the art centres create a rich, distinctive and unforgettable experience for visitors.

World famous for fishing, including Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Dhufish, Red Emperor, Spanish Mackerel, Blue Marlin and Sailfish.

East Arnhem Land is home to thousands of species of native wildlife. The region is one of Australia’s most spectacular marine and coastal destinations and is home to a variety of marine animals such as the saltwater crocodile, dolphins, dugongs, turtles and countless fish species including the barramundi and coral trout.
