Aboriginal People on Sydney's Georges River from 1820

The Dharug and Dharawal Aboriginal people along the Georges River had a range of strategies for keeping in touch with their country once Europeans arrived, such as moving around country to avoid danger and travelling to visit important places. Some held onto their country through purchase, providing areas of refuge for their people. Under the pressure of loss of land, removal to hostels and separation within new suburbs, Aboriginal people remained outspoken and strong, maintaining connections to the river and to each other.
