Mount Yagahong 

Mount Yagahong stands 150m above the surrounding landscape, a beacon in otherwise flat land.

Mount Yagahong’s soil and elevation provide fertile ground for over 70 species of native plants including bush tucker such as the Wild Pear or Cogla (which can be eaten like an apple or cooked like a potato), the Mulga with its edible gum or seeds for grinding into an edible paste, or the Curara tree whose seeds can be turned into flour.

This bounty brings animals such as goannas, birds and Bardi grubs and also makes it an important site for the Yugunga-Nya people. Said to resemble an emu lying down, Mount Yagahong is sacred to the Yugunga-Nya who ask that you respect this site and refrain from climbing the mount.
