==History== The area that in 1979 was declared a National Park is the traditional land of the [[Paakantyi|Barkindji]], [[Ngiyampaa]] and [[Muthi Muthi|Mutthi Mutthi]]. These original inhabitants were driven off by European squatters for their sheep farming in the 1840s, a remnant of which is the 45m woodshed, constructed from Murray pine in 1869 by Chinese labourers. The indigenous who survived the seizure of their homeland, and European-introduced diseases, were moved to a mission at [[Balranald]].
