But what happens when value is placed on some heritage assets at the expense of others? Currently, the cultural heritage values of Gathaagudu, the Malgana name for Shark Bay, meaning \u2018two bays\u2019 are not included in the World Heritage listing, despite having a rich cultural history which include more than 30,000 years of Aboriginal knowledge and stories, the earliest encounters that represent Australia\u2019s first shared history, including the visits by the Dutch in 1616, the French in the early 1800\u2019s and the settlement by the Chinese and Malays in search of pearls in the late 1800s. As a result of the natural values being prioritised, these cultural values have been silenced, disturbed and sometimes exploited. Malgana people and their ancestors have successfully looked after these values for over 30, 000 years and see a future where there is sustainable and long term heritage benefits that create outcomes for best practice cultural heritage protection that strengthen Gathaagudu identity and Malgana cultural connection whilst also supporting the co-existence of the natural heritage values of the UNESCO World Heritage area for future generations. It is time that their voices are heard.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Harry-Oakley_Voices-from-Gathaagudu.png\" class=\"et_pb_lightbox_image\" title=\"\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1750\" height=\"1222\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Harry-Oakley_Voices-from-Gathaagudu.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"Harry-Oakley_Voices-from-Gathaagudu\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Harry-Oakley_Voices-from-Gathaagudu.png 1750w, https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Harry-Oakley_Voices-from-Gathaagudu-1280x894.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Harry-Oakley_Voices-from-Gathaagudu-980x684.png 980w, https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Harry-Oakley_Voices-from-Gathaagudu-480x335.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1750px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-70\" \/><\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":70,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"2880","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66\/revisions\/75"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aaaconference.com.au\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
