Gulaga (Mt Dromedary) and the surrounding landscape have great spiritual significance to local Aboriginal people, particularly Aboriginal women. The park also incorporates the former Wallaga Lake National Park. In May 2006 the park was handed back to its traditional Aboriginal owners in an historic agreement signed by NSW Environment Minister Bob Debus and the Yuin people.

When Mount Gulaga was an active volcano over 60 million years ago, its peak was approximately 3,000 metres in height. Though the peak has fallen due to shifts in the Earth's crust, the peak can still be seen from virtually anywhere in the Tilba region. It is also visible across from many lakes, such as Wallaga Lake National Park or Lake Corunna. Mount Gulaga is made up mainly of a Cretaceous���age Igneous rock complex. Mount Gulaga ascends from this rock complex to 797 metres above sea level. The mountain is composed of banatite rock with an outer rim of Monzonite.


Activities: Walk up the old mining access roads and enjoy views out over the coastal lakes. Tours of the area's cultural sites are available through Umbarra Aboriginal Cultural Tours at Wallaga Lake (phone 4473 7232).
