Murujuga’s Ngajarli viewing trail recognised at WA Heritage Awards

A $1.3 million boardwalk and walking trail in Murujuga National Park has been recognised for its heritage excellence. Individuals, organisations and projects were recognised at the 29th WA Heritage Awards, including the Ngajarli art viewing trail which won the heritage tourism product award. The award-winners were recognised for their contributions to heritage conservation, promotion, tourism and interpretation. The 700m boardwalk designed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions features a series of walkways and gathering spaces to allow safe rock art viewing. Heritage Minister David Templeman said the high standard of the volunteers, professionals, organisations and projects recognised was a testament to the dynamic heritage scene in WA. “I particularly want to acknowledge the Ngajarli art viewing trail, which has been carefully designed to achieve cultural safety and caring for country in a very sacred place,” he said. “The trail showcases a sense of pride, cultural understanding and responsibility among the broader community for Murujuga.”
