At Murujuga, stone tools rise to the surface not because people moved them, but because clay soils expand and shrink with water. New research shows how wetting and drying quietly reshape archaeological landscapes.#Archaeology #Geoarchaeology #Murujuga #HumanHistory https://www.anthropology.net/p/when-the-ground-itself-rearranges

Top statistician breaks silence over Murujuga rock art study near Woodside gas plant
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-02/murujuga-rock-art-study-woodside-government-interference/105806508

The rock art at Murujuga (the Burrup Peninsula, surrounding lands, and nearby islands) has immense cultural importance for Indigenous people. They've told us that, we should listen, and the Western Australian government should not be acting dismissively.

Speaking from the perspective of a non-indigenous person, I think we should all be capable of recognising Murujuga as unique in the whole world, beautiful and precious for artistic reasons, valuable for historical reasons, and important for environmental reasons. It's a connection with the land and with people (past and present) that we should appreciate, preserve, and regard with respect.

Murujuga has over two million petroglyphs, making it one of the largest, densest, and most diverse historical sites in the world. This art covers a timespan of more than 50,000 years, and is the work of many generations of traditional owners: the Yaburara, Ngarluma, Mardudhunera, Yindjibarndi, and Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo peoples.

I think it's good to see Professor Mullins and his team of scientists have added their voices to the voices of Indigenous people and say the region should be a no-go zone for mining companies. It's also shocking that the government of Western Australia is now misrepresenting the work of those scientists so they can give approval to mining companies to continue and expand their mining operations.

Murujuga petroglyphs - putting a "very rosy spin" on the scientific findings

"Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt was advised emissions from Woodside's Karratha Gas Plant may be having an adverse effect on the rock art, before he granted the company an extension to keep operating there for another 40 years."

"A top statistician says he quit a landmark study into whether heavy industry is damaging ancient rock art in Western Australia's north after the government misrepresented his team's key finding. Misstating the results of an expensive scientific investigation is unacceptable and I think that's what's happened."

Australian environment law and ongoing degradation

"Approval of the North West Shelf extension shows the purpose of the EPBC Act is to allow developments, not to protect and preserve.

"Australia’s law that is supposed to protect the environment and cultural heritage doesn’t work. There are few, if any, people who argue otherwise.

"The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act, introduced by the Howard government in 1999, is misnamed. Its main role is to allow developments to be approved."

Yes Bill taken decades but finally what a contrast to when I was young in 1960s. …ongoing battles/outstanding injustices eg #Woodside vs #Murujuga remain to be sorted “in the long term” too.

Murujuga, znane z najstarszych rzeźb skalnych świata, właśnie zdobyło status UNESCO! To uznanie dla australijskiego dziedzictwa kulturowego, choć cieniem kładą się kontrowersje związane z lokalnym przemysłem gazowym. Dla rdzennych społeczności to wygrana, ale czy wystarczająca? Jak możemy lepiej chronić te niezwykłe skarby przed zniszczeniem? Dzielmy się tym dziedzictwem, zanim zniknie na zawsze! 🌏🎨 #Murujuga #UNESCO #artnews
