The photo opposite is an example of rock art from the Burrup Peninsula now housed in the Western Australia Museum, Perth. June 2013..
In 2013 the Murujuga National Park was declared a national park in an effort to conserve the area, but the move was criticised by the Friends of Rock Art group who said it fell far short of protecting the Burrup's significant cultural heritage. They said the park would only cover 44 per cent of the peninsula, leaving the rest open to future industrial expansion.
