Update: 2025-12-06
Description
A vast, culturally significant area in southwest Queensland, spanning thirty-three thousand square kilometers, has been protected from major mining activities. The Mithaka cultural landscape, recognized for its immense Indigenous significance and ancient trade network, has been placed on the National Heritage List. This move, led by Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt, safeguards the areas well-preserved sites, including ancient quarries, gunyahs, and stone arrangements. The listing ensures protection for future generations and provides access to heritage grants for the Mithaka traditional owners. This decision follows earlier criticism, demonstrating a strong commitment to preserving Australias Indigenous heritage.
