Sun rise at land of Gardigal | Sydney, NSW Barangaroo Aboriginal land Tour in Hindi with Amit Dahiyabr br ABORIGINAL CULTURE:br br Barangaroo was a key figure in the local Aboriginal community at the time of European colonisation. Her legacy lives on in the cultural significance of Barangaroo the place. People have been an integral part of the Barangaroo landscape for thousands of years. The Traditional Custodians, the Gadigal, used the land for hunting, the harbour for fishing and the foreshore as a place of congregation. Barangaroo is named after a powerful Cammeraygal woman who lived in the area at the time of early colonial settlement. She was a key figure in local Aboriginal culture and community, and remains so today. Barangaroo’s second husband was Bennelong, after whom Bennelong Point - the site of the Sydney Opera House - is named. The site was part of the territory of the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of the Sydney city region, and was used for fishing and hunting. Large shell middens and numerous rock engravings close to the site indicate Aboriginal occupation dating back some 6,000 years, while radio carbon dates from other parts of Sydney indicate that the wider area was occupied for at least 14,500 years prior to European colonisation.
