Older than Stonehenge or the Pyramids of Giza, Murujuga Rock Art earns UNESCO status, but can it survive gas and industry?
UNESCO has inscribed the Murujuga Cultural Landscape in Western Australia onto the World Heritage List. It is home to over a million Aboriginal rock carvings , some dating back 50,000 years, including the world's oldest known depiction of a human face. The inscription was approved unanimously at the 47th session of the World Heritage Committee in Paris, following a sustained campaign by Indigenous custodians and the Australian government.

Live Events The listing follows decades of advocacy by Aboriginal groups and comes after a tense few months, when UNESCO's own advisory body had recommended referring the nomination back to Australia. Concerns were raised about the impact of emissions from nearby heavy industry, including gas and fertiliser plants, on the fragile petroglyphs. But traditional owners from the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation (MAC), backed by Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt, successfully lobbied member states to override the recommendation, which secured the site's place on the global heritage list. However, while the cultural milestone was celebrated, an earlier draft by UNESCO's advisory body flagged concerns about the impact of emissions from nearby heavy industry. Although the final resolution allows the listing to proceed, it includes provisions for ongoing monitoring of the site's environmental health. What is the Murujuga Cultural Landscape? Murujuga is located in the Pilbara region of northwestern Western Australia and is older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza. It includes the Burrup Peninsula and 42 islands in the Dampier Archipelago. It is home to more than one million petroglyphs, ancient rock carvings that are among the oldest known in the world, with some dating back as far as 50,000 years. These carvings represent ancestral stories, cultural practices, and spiritual knowledge, forming a living archive of Aboriginal connection to the land. For the Ngarda-Ngarli people, the traditional custodians of the area, the art embodies creation stories and is an expression of Lore that governs their way of life. What makes Murujuga rock art unique? Murujuga contains the world's oldest known depiction of a human face and other intricate carvings of animals, human figures, and symbols that offer a window into ancient belief systems. The density and age of the petroglyphs, with more than one million engravings spread across nearly 100,000 hectares, make it one of the richest and oldest continuous cultural landscapes on Earth. Unlike many ancient archaeological sites, Murujuga is still culturally active. Present-day Aboriginal communities maintain a connection with their ancestors through stories, ceremonies, and custodianship. This continuity of cultural practice, alongside the scale and antiquity of the artwork, contributes to its Outstanding Universal Value, which UNESCO has recognised. Can Murujuga Exist Alongside Industry? The inscription has intensified debate over industrial development in the region. The area also hosts major gas and fertiliser operations, including Woodside's North West Shelf project, which has been granted a 40-year life extension. While MAC and the Australian government argue that cultural protection and industrial activity can coexist, others, including former MAC chair Raelene Cooper and the Save Our Songlines group, believe rock art remains threatened by pollution and development. UNESCO's advisory body had initially recommended postponing the listing, citing risks from industrial emissions, though the final decision did not include such restrictions. Murujuga now joins the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru as part of Australia's World Heritage list.

String of Maratha 'military forts' makes Unesco heritage list

German backpacker found after 12 days; what makes Western Australia so easy to get lost in?
The story of 26-year-old missing German backpacker Carolina Wilga has gripped Australia and beyond. Missing for nearly two weeks in one of the country's harshest terrains, Wilga was found alive, weak, dehydrated, and injured, but safe. Her survival against the odds has raised questions about what exactly happened, how she endured the ordeal, and why the Western Australian outback, sometimes referred to as Australia's "wild west" kept her hidden for so long. Before almost giving a plot to make a movie, Ms Wilga made the unlikely decision to take the van she recently purchased and plunge even further into the depths of the great beyond, later finding herself in a miserable condition in a sparse and environmentally hostile nature reserve. Nobody knew what she was doing out there, where she was trying to go, and why. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo What happened to Carolina Wilga? Carolina Wilga was last seen on June 29, 2025, at a general store in the small Wheatbelt town of Beacon, about 330km northeast of Perth. She had been travelling solo in a black and silver Mitsubishi Delica van, reportedly on a journey through remote parts of Western Australia , with possible plans to head east. Live Events The alarm was raised when friends and family stopped hearing from her. A major search was launched. On July 11, after 12 days since she was last seen, Wilga was found limping along a bush track in Karroun Hill Nature Reserve , more than 300 km from Perth. Her ordeal began when her van became bogged down in dense bushland around 35km off the nearest track. After failing to free the vehicle using recovery gear like MAXTRAX and wood planks, she decided to abandon it and seek help on foot. Police say Wilga was eventually found by a member of the public, 20km from the nearest walkable trail. She was severely dehydrated, covered in mosquito bites, and suffering from minor injuries, with only one shoe on her foot. Why was she missing for so long? The answer lies in the Wheatbelt region's vast, rugged, and unforgiving nature, where Karroun Hill is located. A patchwork of dry shrubland, rocky outcrops, and gravel roads, the area is lightly populated and poorly marked, ideal for becoming disoriented, especially for those unfamiliar with the terrain. WA Police revealed that recent rain had erased signs of which direction she may have walked. Search teams focused initially around her vehicle, which is normally the best chance of locating a missing person in such terrain. Unfortunately, Wilga had already left it behind. 'The terrain is really inhospitable,' said Inspector Martin Glynn. 'There are places where vehicles get bogged easily. Even locals say you can take a few wrong turns and completely lose your bearings.' What makes Australia's 'wild west' so dangerous? The term 'Wild West' may sound romantic, but in outback Western Australia, it can be a life-or-death reality. Karroun Hill lies on the edge of arable Wheatbelt land, giving way to remote bushland where survival depends on self-sufficiency and navigation skills. Even residents of the area acknowledge the danger. 'It's so easy to get lost or stuck out here,' said local farmer Tilly Elizabeth. 'Rain covers your tracks, and at night it's just a few degrees. People disappear here more often than you'd think.' Temperatures in the area drop to near-freezing at night, while the days can be dry and disorienting under the sun. Add to that the lack of mobile coverage, sparse human presence, and limited water sources, and it becomes clear why the region held Wilga for nearly two weeks. What's her condition now? After being rescued, Wilga was taken to the small town of Beacon and then flown to Perth for medical care. Police said she was "ravaged by mosquitoes" and "very distressed" when found, but conscious and responsive. She is now recovering and has been reunited with authorities and healthcare professionals. Her family in Germany has been notified, and police say she is in a "fragile" state but expected to recover physically. Lessons from the ordeal Authorities have put down a key takeaway: if you are stranded in the outback, stay with your vehicle. It's easier to spot from the air or by search teams than a person walking through bushland. Police and locals alike praised Wilga's resilience. 'She obviously coped in some amazing conditions,' said Inspector Glynn. 'There's a very hostile environment out there, from flora to fauna.'
