About the name

Mulga is the outback. Mulga is the Australian outback, the sunscorched country where dusty roads end, signal drops out and reliable maps matter most.

The word comes from Gamilaraay (Kamilaroi), the language of the Gamilaraay people of north-central New South Wales and southern Queensland. Their word malga is recorded as meaning a shield, made from the hard, dense wood of the tree that in English we call mulga (Acacia aneura).

Mulga grows across vast areas of arid Australia, including much of Western Australia, where Mulga Maps was made. For thousands of years it has been central to life for many Aboriginal peoples. It provides food from its seeds and galls, and wood for shields, spears, boomerangs and digging sticks. Each language group knows it by its own name.

We chose the name because Mulga Maps is built for that country and the people who work and explore on it. We hope our users work on Country in close partnership with the Indigenous peoples to help care for the land.
