First Nations Cultural Heritage is deeply embedded into the landscape, history and culture of all Australia.

The historical and contemporary aspects of cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible are a huge part of what makes this country unique.

Sadly, the desecration of the sacred rock shelter Juukan Gorge in the Pilbara, Western Australia was not an isolated event. The damage, displacement and destruction of cultural heritage is occurring routinely right across the nation.

There are countless stories to be told of the great values of these irreplaceable living cultures and the serious threats facing them. These case studies are just a few of them.
