The brumbies, or wild horses, in the national park are a significant part of the history and culture of the region. They are believed to be descended from horses that were released or escaped from early settlers in the region and have lived in the wild ever since.
The brumbies are a symbol of the rugged and untamed nature of the Australian high country and are also a popular subject for photographers and artists. However, their presence has also been a source of controversy, as they can cause damage to fragile ecosystems and compete with native species for food and water.
The management of the brumby population in the national park is a complex issue that involves balancing cultural, environmental, and economic considerations.
