Arnhem Land was named after the Dutch ship Arnhem, which navigated across the coast almost 400 years ago in 1623.
Arnhem Land x-ray art, thought to have developed around 2000 BC, shows animals and humans in an 'x-ray style', with accurate depictions of their internal organs, bones and even veins and arteries.

At just under 100,000 square kilometres, Arnhem Land is roughly the size of Iceland – and is bigger than Hungary, Portugal or Austria.
