The Burrup Peninsula, just south of Dampier, has a wealth of sacred Aboriginal rock art petrography an astounding 10,000 or so engravings in more than 500 recorded sites. The petrography of the Burrup Peninsula is recognised as the largest outdoor art gallery in the world. It is essential that viewing be done at the earliest possible time of day, as the extraordinary rocks the early aboriginal artists used for their art act as heat stores and reflect the heat of the day, causing very, very hot temperatures.
