An ancient site adorned with 40,000 years of Indigenous art has had its World Heritage application remedied after the government's initial nomination was deemed incomplete.

The Burrup Peninsula, located in WA's Pilbara region and known to traditional owners as Murujuga, contains the world's largest and oldest collection of petroglyphs and has been put forward for UNESCO World Heritage listing.
