Friends of
Australian Rock
Art

Friends of
Australian Rock Art (FARA) was formed in
November 2006
in response to concerns by the West
Australian National Trust with
regard to a lack of government interest in
protecting the Dampier
Archipelago, particularly the Burrup
Peninsula (Murujuga), from
vandalism and deterioration due to
uncontrolled industrial
development.

The organisation has since grown to
become a respected independant,
incorporated association that focuses
on raising awareness of the
threat to rock art on the Dampier
Archipelago, especialy with
regard
to industrial development on the Burrup
Peninsula

All of FARA's
activities are undertaken by volunteers
who are
passionate about the PROTECTION,
PRESERVATION and
PROMOTION
(PPP) of rock art,
Particularly that of the Dampier
Archipelago, and
the Burrup Peninsula.

There have
been some real successes along the
way, with many
more people now aware of how
important the rock art of the
Dampier Archipelago is to
humanity.

HIGHLIGHTS:
An international campaign
titled
"Stand Up For The
Burrup",
which has drawn the world's
attention to the plight of the
Burrup
Peninsula's rock
art.
