An Indigenous Australian site Budg Bim which is older than the pyramids and contains the remains of an ancient eel farm, has been accepted onto the World Heritage List as of two days ago.
Project manager Denis Rose said they have been advocating for 17 years to have the site recognised as World Heritage.
Mr Rose said the aquaculture site will receive improved protection and cause global recognition of the Indigenous Gunditjmara people, with the potential to boost tourism.
