History
There are numerous gnammas at Curara, 49 kilometres west-south-west from Ularring.
An Army Field Party located this rockhole and named it Cararah Rockhole in September 1963. It was also spelled as Karara Rockhole. Later investigation showed that the officially accepted spelling of the native tree after which it was named was ‘Curara’ and it was amended (along with about 13 other features incorrectly named Karara across the state). Curara is an acacia tree valued as fodder for stock.
