Attachment A4 Attachment A4 Brief Aboriginal Historical Study of the Botany Road Precinct and Surrounds – Botany Road Precinct Brief Aboriginal History of the Botany Road Corridor and Surrounds Cox Inall Ridgeway for THE CITY OF SYDNEY FINAL April 2021 About this document This brief Aboriginal Historical Study has been prepared by Indigenous social change agency Cox Inall Ridgeway (CIR) for the City of Sydney Council (the City) as part of the strategic planning review of an area known as the ‘Botany Road Corridor’ (the Study Area). It is one of a number of reports prepared by CIR for the City, including a Project Report, Statement of Aboriginal Significance for the area, and an Archaeological Assessment. This brief history draws on historical research including interviews conducted by CIR with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members in 2020. It provides a brief overview of the history of the Study Area and surrounds (including Redfern, Waterloo, Eveleigh and Alexandria) and profiles a number of places which help illustrate the rich and diverse social history of the area, prioritising Aboriginal voices, views and stories. It is a short introductory history and is not intended to be a complete account of the rich and diverse histories of the Study Area and surrounds. This document has been authored by CIR for the City. It reflects the independent insights and analysis of CIR, not the City of Sydney Council or any other organisation. While all care has been taken by CIR to ensure information is accurate, the document may contain errors. i The copyright for this document is vested with the City of Sydney Council.

The connection runs deep, the spirit of place is alive still. People and culture, language and history are entwined, as roots of the giant Moreton Bay figs which stand tall throughout the region. The area is part of Gadigal Country, within the Eora Nation.1 The Gadigal clan is one of the 29 Aboriginal clans of the Sydney basin which make up the Eora nation.2 As the City of Sydney’s Barani website reports: “The territory of the Gadi(gal) people stretched along the southern side of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour) from South Head to around what is now known as Petersham.”3 Aboriginal people established and used this place for many generations prior to invasion and colonisation by the British. They used the heath and wetlands in this area to camp, hunt, fish, construct tools, keep and share knowledge, create art, and harvest plant foods and medicine. They maintained pathways through the dune heath that connected coastal and inland clans. When the British invaded, Aboriginal people sought refuge here. Significantly impacted through displacement, disease and frontier conflict, Gadigal people and other clans and nations based in the Sydney basin adapted and responded. Indeed, Aboriginal people were part of the working life of the colony. As Sydney expanded, Aboriginal people became an integral part of the city, adapting, negotiating, and forging shared histories. During the twentieth century, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from across Australia, and NSW in particular, came together to work, reconnect with family, and build communities in Redfern, Waterloo, Alexandria, Eveleigh and Darlington. The area became known as ‘Aboriginal Redfern’, the most recognised and significant urban Aboriginal place in Australia. Aboriginal Redfern was the birthplace of urban Aboriginal rights. It is a key site of protest, the home of successful campaigns for recognition of land rights, human rights and civil rights, and of the first community-controlled organisations, such as the Aboriginal Medical Service. These people, events and organisations were instrumental in driving significant change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, and for all Australians. They played a key role in changing the law, and shaping Australia’s understanding of First Nations people and itself as a nation. It is probably no coincidence that ‘Aboriginal Redfern’ played such a significant role in shaping 20th century Aboriginal history. The place itself is imbued with cultural meaning. Located specifically within the Study Area are a large concentration of individual sites where important historical, political and social events, activities and organisations were formed or flourished, and where significant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people or families were born or lived. v Much of this history is not documented or recognised in official histories of Sydney. In many ways, this project is part of this process of reclamation and the re-storying of place, where the Aboriginal voice can be restored to a more central place in the narrative. Gadigal Country Prior to invasion, colonisation and industrial transformation of the land, the Study Area and surrounds were a waterscape of permanent ponds and semi-permanent wetlands supporting waterbirds, freshwater fish and turtles, forests of paperbark and swamp mahogany, sedges, reeds, ferns and lilies. Freshwater springs rose near current day Surry Hills and formed streams and creeks that flowed southwards through this area towards Botany Bay. Small watercourses flowed through the study area and can be seen depicted as culverts under Botany Road in 19th century maps. The sprawling Lachlan Swamps, located at toady’s Centennial Park, were three times the size of the current park and surrounded by wetland vegetation. The Lachlan

  • Historical Information About the 1780S in Australia
    The information supplied in this document was sourced from the Decade timeline section of MY PLACE FOR TEACHERS website: www.myplace.edu.au Historical information about the 1780s in Australia Cultural differences On 26 January 1788, the British government through Governor Arthur Phillip (1738–1814) claimed sovereignty over the area that Captain James Cook had named New South Wales. They also claimed ownership of the land through the legal concept of terra nullius (land belonging to no-one), ignoring the already existing land ownership and lore of the Indigenous peoples there. Land was at the centre of the conflict between the Sydney clans and the British colonists. In 1787 Lord Sydney of the Colonial Office had officially recognised the presence of Indigenous inhabitants by giving instructions to Governor Phillip to open friendly communications with them and encourage the convicts and marines to show them kindness. His instructions included measures of protection for the local Indigenous people, and punishments for those who harmed them. The British did not, however, acknowledge Indigenous ownership of the land. The people of the First Fleet did not understand the ways of the local Indigenous peoples they encountered, and their diaries and journals record the lack of respect that many members of the First Fleet had for local Indigenous people. The colonists did not understand the diversity of Indigenous Australian nations, each with a distinct language and culture, or the complexity of Indigenous systems of lore. For example, an important understanding is to seek permission to enter another group's country. On seeing the First Fleet, the Cadigal people ran down to the water's edge and shook their spears at them.

In recognition of the importance of the Tank Stream to the people of Sydney and New South Wales, it was protected by a Permanent Conservation Order in 1989 and entered on the NSW State Heritage Register in 1999. The Tank Stream is recognised as being of national importance to the European settlement of Australia. Aboriginal occupation Due to the almost immediate impact of European colonists, our knowledge of Sydney’s Aboriginal people is limited. Early settlers casual and systematic observations provide some insight, but basic information is missing or ambiguous. Even the names of the Aboriginal landscape with the names of the stream and the other features in the catchment have been lost. Recently researchers favour Gadigal (often spelt Cadigal) as the name of the group that had some rights and obligations for the land around Sydney Cove. The Gadigal spoke the coastal dialect of Dharug, which makes them part of a larger group within the Sydney region.

They included a wombat (Diprotodon) seen on the right, the size of a small car and weighing up to almost three tons, which was preyed upon by a marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) on following page. This treedweller averaging 100 kilograms, was slim compared to the venomous goanna (Megalania) which at 300 kilograms, and 4.5 metres long, was the largest terrestrial lizard known, terrifying but dwarfed by a carnivorous kangaroo (Propleopus oscillans) which could grow three metres high.

  • Facts for Students
    www.forteachersforstudents.com.au Copyright © 2017 FOR TEACHERS for students NEW SOUTH WALES Facts for Students New South Wales (NSW) is a large state in south-eastern Australia. It is home to many famous attractions, including its capital city: Sydney. The history of New South Wales Indigenous History The original inhabitants of Sydney (the Cadigal people) spoke the Eora language. In Eora, Sydney is called Warran meaning ‘here’ or ‘this place’. Other dialects of the Sydney area include Dharug, Kurringgai and Dhawawal. The Eora people were hunters and gatherers and inhabited coastal campsites where fish (such as snapper) and shellfish (oysters, mussels and cockles) were plentiful. Song and dance were important elements of Aboriginal life. Rock engravings depicting humans and native animals such as whales and wallabies have been found throughout the Sydney area, although many have been covered by roads or buildings. European Arrival New South Wales is Australia’s oldest state. It was named in 1770 by Captain James Cook who, after falsely proclaiming that the land was uninhabited, claimed it for Britain. On 26 January 1788 the First Fleet, eleven ships commanded by Captain Arthur Phillip, arrived in Botany Bay. The ships carried 700 convicts sent from Britain’s overflowing gaols and 150 officers and Marine guards. Botany Bay was the intended location of the penal colony, however, the site was judged unfit and Port Jackson was chosen instead.
