Country holds our stories. Stories we are still rediscovering, like the tools and ceremonial stones uncovered in Murujuga Sea Country and rock art on Martu Country. Protecting our cultural heritage and protecting Country is an ongoing challenge that demands a lot of resources. People, time and technology.
