This week the TRC team travelled to Conzinc Bay on the Burrup Peninsula near Karratha in Western Australia to assist the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation plan for a new cultural and visitor facility at this National Heritage listed site. The Burrup has one of the world’s largest concentrations of petroglyphs spanning tens of thousands of years and is a site of great cultural significance for many Aboriginal people.
Elders from Ngarluma Country together with the Yinjibarndi, Yaburara, Mardudhunera and Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo people have a goal of improving the protection and preservation of their Country and culture while encouraging more people to come and learn about the significance of this spectacular place. TRC are working with them to realise these goals while creating employment and business opportunities for the local community.
