Join renowned artists, cultural experts, and institutional leaders – including Thomas Keneally, Jimmy Barnes, Sir Antony Gormley, Tim Winton, Ben Quilty, Fiona Hall, Paul Kelly, Patricia Piccinini, Tony Birch, Tracey Moffat, Peter Carey, Robyn Davidson, and Kate Grenville – in calling for the protection of the Murujuga Rock Art.
The Australia Institute’s research highlights that the petroglyphs on Murujuga, a site listed on Australia’s National Heritage List, have been nominated by the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation and the Western Australian Government for the UNESCO World Heritage List, with a final decision expected in June 2025.
These irreplaceable 40,000-year-old rock engravings – twice as ancient as the Lascaux cave paintings in France and eight times older than the pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge – are at risk of permanent destruction due to acid rain caused by gas processing. Without immediate intervention, this priceless cultural heritage could be lost forever.
Take Action: Sign the Petition
Help stop this senseless destruction. Demand that the Australian Government reject the gas export extension and protect the Murujuga Rock Art for future generations.
