17th June 2025 - Restoration of Lake Name to Galup
Effective from 17th June Lake Monger has been restored to its original Whadjuk Noongar name, Galup (pronounced Kaarlup). This follows formal endorsement by the Geographic Names Committee, an independent advisory body to Landgate and the Minister for Lands.
The Friends of Galup / Lake Monger supports this change. For the Friend's group itself, you will see a gradual transition of our naming etc. to reflect this welcome change.
