History
Mungabareena is a ‘Declared Aboriginal Place’ under NSW state law, as it has been used by the Wiradjuri people for food, shelter, medicine, tools, and weapons and hence, this place holds deep cultural significance. Mungabareena was also the meeting place for other Aboriginal people, who would gather and trade before going up into the high country to hunt for Bogong moths. This is how the area gets its name as Mungabareena means “place of plenty talk” in the Wiradjuri language. It continues to be a significant site for the Wiradjuri and other Aboriginal people with it being the site of contemporary festivals.
