Aboriginal Tribes The aborigines of the County of Cumberland (Sydney) were divided into a great number of tribes. When the settlement was first established, it was found that the Cadigakl tribe inhabited the district from South Head to Darling Harbour; the Wanngal tribe from Darling Harbour to Parramatta; the Wallumedegal tribe occupied the northern shore of the Parramatta River opposite the Wanngal tribe; whilst the Cammerragal tribe possessed the land about the middle and north harbours of Port Jackson. Other named tribes in the neighbourhood were Gweagal, Noronggerragal, Borogegal, Gomerrigal and Boromedegal. |
