Description:
There is no one definitive answer to this question. Gangarara is derived from the word 'gang' which means a group of people, and 'ara' which means a place. Some believe that the name originated from the Aboriginal people who used to live in the area. Others believe that the name may have come from the Portuguese who first settled in the area. The name may also be derived from the Aboriginal word 'gurra' which means a place where wild animals gather.
