Abstract

Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, Australia, is internationally recognised for evidence of the 6000-year-old Gunditjmara eel aquaculture system. Research supporting a World Heritage nomination for Budj Bim has found that Indigenous knowledge, use and management of natural resources are rarely considered as cultural values in World Heritage sites. When cultural landscapes that reflect these values are considered as a distinct type of site, a significant gap is highlighted in the representation of the values of Indigenous peoples on the World Heritage List.
