A timely call out! Same Drum are asking for support in the proposed name change for Galup / Lake Monger as the Town of Cambridge ask for public comment in its new draft management plan.
The plan will help direct activities and projects to be undertaken within the reserve, over the next ten years. As part of the survey, the Town is seeking feedback on a proposed change of name for the reserve, from “Lake Monger” to “Galup” as requested by the Whadjuk Noongar Registered Knowledge Holders and Council.
If you were lucky enough to see 'Galup' from our 2021 program or have encountered the incredible VR experience, you will know how important this is.
