Our land, together. Kalgulup Regional Park protects our culture, plants and animals across Bibbulman lands from the coast to the rivers, hills and lands beyond for present and future generations to learn about, respect, care for and enjoy. These lands and waters, we now entrust to you, to pass on to those who follow.
Kalgulup is a Noongar word meaning ‘place of fire’ or ‘place of burning camp’. It is a place surrounding Quobba Keip Boya (‘a place of pretty rocks and water’), which sits within the lands of the Pinjarup, Wadandi, Kaneang and Wiilmen people. The significance of the name Kalgulup derives from fire and its elements (smoke, coals, ash) being at the koort (heart) of Noongar culture. The name Kalgulup is pronounced ‘Kaal-gool-up'.
