In 2001, as part of the Southern Comprehensive Regional Forest Agreement and at the request of Yuin people, Gulaga National Park was created out of the existing Wallaga Lake National Park, Goura Nature Reserve, and Mt Dromedary Flora Reserve.[1]
In May 2006, ownership to this former National Park, plus the rest of the Gulaga National Park, was restored to the area's traditional owners, in whom legal tenure was vested (in trust) as part of an agreement signed by then New South Wales Environment Minister Bob Debus and representatives for the Yuin people.[1][2]
The name of the park derived from Wallaga Lake, which is of cultural significance as well as being a source of food for the Yuin people.[3] The black duck, Umbarra, who lives here, is the totem of the Yuin-Monaro people.[4]
