A native title claim covering thousands of square kilometres, including agricultural land as well as several small towns along the Barrier Highway in South Australia, was lodged in 2012 by Maureen, Glen, and Dulcie O'Donnell, on behalf of the Wilyakali people. Native title was finally formally recognised on 28 August 2023, in a decision handed down by Justice Raper.[6][7]
