Industry Rocking the Burrup
The Burrup peninsula is located on the Indian Ocean in the Pilbara region in North Western Australia. It is a 110 sq/km area part of the Dampier archipelago which includes 42 islands and islets mostly made up of pre-cambrian igneous rocks (i.e. lava) but also stromatolites ancient fossilised rocks some of the oldest on the earth’s surface (over 3 billion years). The Burrup is home to perhaps the World’s densest concentration of petroglyphs (engraved motifs).
