We’re taking the WA Government to court over Woodside’s climate-wrecking gas project.

The Friends of Australian Rock Art have launched legal proceedings in the WA Supreme Court to challenge the WA Government’s approval of Woodside’s North West Shelf extension — one of the most polluting fossil fuel projects in the world.

The WA Government has failed to protect Western Australia’s environment from a climate crisis that’s threatening the ancient heritage landscape on Murujuga — through sea level rise, wildfires, and coastal erosion.

We urgently need your help to fund this challenge. Every dollar will go directly towards legal costs in this critical Supreme Court case.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respect to them and their cultures, and to the elders, past and present.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visitors are advised this website contains the names, images and stories of people who have passed away.

Since 2006, we’ve advocated for the preservation of Australian rock art.

We work to protect, preserve and promote Australian rock art, particularly the petroglyphs found in the Dampier Archipelago (including Murujuga/Burrup Peninsula) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Western Australia is home to precious, priceless cultural heritage.

The Burrup Peninsula, or Murujuga, is a unique ecological, spiritual and archaeological area containing the world’s oldest, largest and most important collection of petroglyphs and ancient rock carvings.
