The West Australian Government has approved the creation of the Murujuga National Park on the Burrup Peninsula, near Karratha, however with a caveat. The National Indigenous Times has recently visited the site, twice in the last couple of weeks and it is a historical preserve that needed to be confirmed. Local Elder Wilfred Hicks is pleased, however much of the surrounds need to be preserved as petroglyphs, rock art and other historical sites need to preserved.
