pre 1788 part of the custodial range of The traditional owners of the Sydney City region the Cadigal band. Their land south of Port Jackson stretches from South Head to Petersham. The "Eora people" was the name given to the coastal Aborigines around Sydney. The word Eora simply means "here" or "from this place". Local Aboriginal people used the word to describe to the British where they came from and so the word was then used to define the Aboriginal people themselves. The name Eora is proudly used today by the descendants of those very same people. Central Sydney is therefore often referred to as "Eora Country".  sourced  from Barani
