(Strelitziaceae), a native of South Africa, is newly recorded as a sparingly naturalised weed for New South Wales and represents new family, generic and species records for the state. Descriptions, notes and identification key are provided for the family, genus and species. Introduction Strelitzia nicolai Regel & Körn. (Giant White Bird of Paradise or Natal Wild Banana; Strelitziaceae), a native of South Africa, is a common horticultural subject in eastern Australia. Recently a small colony of plants was discovered at Minnie Water (c. 60 km NNE of Coffs Harbour, North Coast, New South Wales). The colony is of note as some plants were 8 m tall (suggesting they had been there for some time) and that they were setting viable seed. Seedlings were found within this population and Milne and Luxton have observed that the species is being found in increasing numbers on council land and in National Parks of the area.

  • Aborigines in the Hills District the Cumberland Plain Aboriginal
    Aborigines in the Hills District The Cumberland Plain Aboriginal people have been living in the Sydney region for at least 40,000 years.1 The people living in The Hills belonged to the Darug tribe of which there were a number of family groups or clans that were nomadic within a specific area. For example, the Burramattagal clan (burra - eels and fish, matta – place of fresh running water) occupied the Parramatta/North Rocks area of Hunts and Darling Mills Creeks; the Toongagal or Tuga clan (place of thick woods) lived in the Toongabbie Creek/Hawkesbury River catchment. These clans spoke the inland dialect of the Darug language.2 The Darug people were not confined only to The Hills area and spread out all over the Cumberland Plain. This area stretches from Windsor in the north to Picton in the south and into the inner west of Sydney. Most of Western Sydney was home to the Darug people and as such their traditions, culture and lifestyle is not unique to The Hills but represents Aborigines from a number of other local government areas as well. The Darug people of the Cumberland Plain usually camped within 100m of permanent water sources as a home base. There is evidence of camps further away than that however very few have been recorded as being further than 500m from water.3 Remains of both open camps and cave dwellings have been discovered in the Hills Shire, with charcoal drawings, shellfish middens, animal bones and stone flakes being discovered in caves. The rock dwellings found in the Darling Mills Creek area of West Pennant Hills date back almost 12,000 years.4 Culture and Diet Darug people travelled along the ridgelines (often the routes of present day roads) and followed creeks to sacred sites in the Hills District and elsewhere in Western Sydney for special ceremonies and gatherings.
