Burgalba Lagoon is a waterhole (-26.8605°N 152.828°W). The lagoon is significant for the Dallambara, who were a clan of the Jinibara people. It was a place of testing young men and making rain. It was the home of Gairwar the rainbow serpent and a source of magic stones. The name Burgalba means "box tree".[2]
It was named after Stephen Simpson, the Queensland commissioner of lands, who used the area as a camp site in the mid-19th century. Although the normal rules of English grammar would suggest that the locality name should be spelled with a possessive apostrophe, the official titles of place names in Queensland do not include that particular punctuation.[3]
