The national park is upon the traditional Aboriginal lands of the Kongabulla Clan of Iman country,[1] the carpet snake people, and Wulli Wulli country.[2]

The north-western section was expanded in 1990 to include the hand-laid rock road which once ran from Rockhampton to Roma as part of the wool run.[3]
