Information

Lorna Glen Conservation Reserve (known to local Aboriginal people as Matuwa)is a former pastoral lease of about 160km NE of Wiluna. The Western Australian Government acquired Lorna Glen Station in 2000, and it was later managed jointly by the Dept of Environment & Conservation (DEC) and the Wiluna Aboriginal community for conservation and cultural purposes. It was recognised as an Indigenous Protection Area in 2012 and the next year, on “an amazing day” native title was determined. In 2023 the Indigenous land use and management agreements were signed to pave the way for the national park to be jointly managed by the Martu people and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. The National Park is now called Matuwa Kurrara Kurrara.Camping and tourism is not permitted.
