Our rock art tells our stories; it is our Bible.
We practise and continue to follow our cultural protocols, passing down knowledge of Lore and culture.
As custodians we are entrusted to carry on our traditional customs.
We are joining together to stop new industry on the Burrup from damaging our Songlines, our rock art, our health and our climate.

We are joining together to stop new industry on the Burrup from damaging our Songlines, our rock art, our health and our climate.
Save our Songlines recently secured the first ever full cultural heritage assessment of all industry at the Burrup Hub under Section 10 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act. This is the best opportunity we have to show the dangerous impact that Woodside’s gas industry and its offshoots on the Burrup are having on sacred Murujuga rock art - not to mention the global climate impact of their emissions.
The Section 10 process allows for anyone to share their story, perspective and insights about the clash of new industry and ancient culture on the Burrup. A Reporter has been appointed by the Federal Government to investigate these impacts and provide a full report to the Environment Minister, who is empowered by law to make permanent protection orders for Murujuga.
We only have until November 30 to tell the full story about the industrial impacts on the environmental, economic, community, cultural and World Heritage values of Murujuga.
It is vitally important that the local community and Murujuga traditional custodians get to have their say about industry on their ngurra without having their voices silenced and concerns gagged. It is also crucial that as many people who care about ancient rock art, Aboriginal culture and the future of our planet make their feelings known about what is happening right now on the Burrup.
