Formally co-managed by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal community, legal owners of the park's land since 1995
Declared in 1995, Booderee is formally co-managed by the Aboriginal community of Wreck Bay, who legally own the park's land under a lease-back arrangement with the Australian federal government much like those of Uluru and Kakadu. Its name means bay of plenty of fish in the local Dhurga language, reflecting the historic importance of traditional fishing in the area.
