How does Woodside square with World Heritage-listed Murujuga?

The first thing you see when you get to the first corner – the city in the plain.

Like a new casino strip built on a mud apartment, the Perdaman fertilizer plant spreads on the horizon as the banks on both sides of the Burup Road are opened. There is more crane on a hill on a hill and finishing expansion to WoodSide’s Pluto gas processing plant. However, when you reach Murujuga, the world’s oldest, largest rock art gallery with more than 1 million petroglifs, some of them hit you for reaching Murujuga, some of whom are more than 50,000 years – more than 50,000 years older than Lascaux or pyramids.

I’ve been coming here for less than four years and it gets worse every time. On my first trips MurujugaIt was more robust. Only when you return from the old faces and animals on the board in Njanjarli (deep gate) – some of the most intense concentrations of Murujuga, and the closest to the tourism infrastructure (outside the Woodside visitor center) – you faced industry and culture. Now the first thing you see is exactly.

Strangely, any signs of any industry Photos of Murujuga UNESCO World Heritage website. Instead, at sunset, Njanjarli’s shining drone shoots, including the shining drone, shows striking shots of rock art and landscape. However, these photos were taken in 2020, but the list was only approved in July this year. Five years ago there was no curtain; Now it’s a foreign civilization that crouches on burup.

A new Three -month trial The topic came out this week, respected for more than a year in the past Four corners Journalist Marian Wilkinson, who has a gas industry of Woodside and West Australia, is through the country. Wilkinson’s article is a deep, interesting dive (talking to me) to a story that emerged too much despite its increasing political importance, spoke to a few people who gave an unprecedented idea about industrial expansion policies in Australia.

Heritage Specialist Heather Builth was a informant in Juukan Gorge before he was hired by Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation (MAC) in 2021. He resigned at the end of his contract due to his despair under the influence of the curtain facility on Murujuga. “It wasn’t just four or five areas, Wil says Wilkinson. “This was a view, a water view, the country.

As in the landscape of the World Heritage, in WA politics – it brings the industry’s desired, buying and bulldozers for everything that enters the path. Chris Tallentire was a deputy who dare to question the state government’s LNG exports from carbon to carbon’s LNG exports from carbon. Cook, the promised research to support the claim, but never happened. This year, independent analysts’ attempts to reach evidence of the WA government through the demand for freedom of knowledge were rejected on the grounds that it would endanger cabinet privacy. Tallentir retired in the 2025 elections and the party lines were effectively frozen by a WA Labor Party written by the gas industry.

However, professional wounded Wilkinson is the most closely details of the experienced burup archaeologist Dr Ken Mulvaney. It is not the only Sadık Kaya art researcher who avoids toxic politics that infected the academy, but Mulvaney has more skin in the game after the WA Museum in 1980 for the construction of Woodsyide’s North West Shelf Gas export facility. Mulvaney had previously described the racing experience to document the ancient rock art before it was crushed to build its gas plant as “the soul destroying the soul for archaeologists and traditional owners”.

Last week, I met Mulvaney at the site of this historical destruction, but to find out that the cultural eraser is still going on.

Mul We’ve saved 9,200 petroglifs for these two years, Mul said Mulvaney, Flare Towers and the big pipes of the largest LNG center of the front Australia. “We know that approximately 5,000 of these recorded images are now under that plant. Dust. They are collapsing. Buldozers crushed them under their knives and traces and were dynamics.”

Mulvaney, “these bulldozers by working in front of the developments here I thought I would be the last,” he said. “And I oppose the approach of the industry, which has continued to be here for nearly 50 years, and I still continued to see that this happened. And always ‘This will be the last. Never again.’ And then a new minister comes in Perth and they sign another development.

The WA government once accepted the toxic potential of the current industry over the burup. The original 2003 state agreement, which formed the Murujuga ABORİJİN Company and separates the Buruper between the National Park and Industry Park, promised to those who promised that it has not yet been delivered twenty years later.

In the 2016 letter, Premier Colin Barnett announced that the original site in Hearons Cove, which remained a popular beach last week, could offer an unacceptable risk for public health and safety because of the presence of two fertilizer plants. Instead, tourists are now gathering in Njanjarli (Deep Gorge), where visitors say that they are deposited as the rain they watched from fertilizer plants along the way.

Samantha Walker is the traditional owner of Murujuga’s narcism. His grandfather is a senior elderly who refused to sign the 2003 agreement with the State Government. This week, Walker on the phone reflected how world heritage tourists can experience Murujuga for the first time.

“If our visitors, our international friends, come and wait to see the beauty of Murujuga, if they didn’t see anything other than the dirty industry. How did you feel? I would feel disgusted. I felt demolished.

“With the world heritage, the country deserves to exhibit the beauty we are still there, and a struggle to keep and keep it as it is now. This country is getting worse than all of us.”

“We have to take care of it as I continue to say, I continue to protect and protect it correctly, and to do this is the whole of Australia. As traditional owners, we are trying to do it for dozens of years.”

We need to turn our focus on how to protect and protect this beautiful country. We can make our elderly sit down, tell our friends stories that enter our shores. This real sharing is establishing a country and connection. Will they connect so far? Terrible gas plants and pollution occur? “
