[edit] History
Wulagi is one of Darwin's northern suburbs east of Lee Point and was built after Cyclone Tracy struck Darwin, Northern Territory in 1974. The name originates from an Aboriginal tribe. Development of the area was primarily during the 1970s and 1980s. The streets in Wulagi are named after birds found in the Northern Territory.
[edit] Present day
Major features of the area include Wulagi Primary School and Wulagi Oval. In the 'dry season' it is very common to see a club cricket game at the oval on a Saturday.
