  • 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.

  • 5. Parramatta
    5. PARRAMATTA 5.1 Introduction Parramatta Local Government Area occupies an area of 60 square kilometres, straddling the upper reaches of the Parramatta River, in eastern parts of the western Sydney region. There is a marked difference in landscape type between those areas to the north and south of the Parramatta River. To the south and west, undulating Wianamatta shales of the Fairfield Basin are broken by low-lying fingers of Quaternary alluvium along the major creek lines such as Prospect Creek, Duck River, the upper parts of Toongabbie Creek and their tributaries. A small sandstone outcrop along an upper section of Duck River has little impact on topography, but is reflected in the disjunct occurrence of sandstone species. To the north of the river the Hornsby Plateau-Cumberland Plain interface is marked by steep rises. Small remnants of Wianamatta shales occur on ridge-tops and deep valleys are incised into Hawkesbury sandstone along creeks draining from the plateau. Soil landscapes reflect this variation in geology across the LGA. To the south and west the dominant soil landscape on the shales is Blacktown, with Birrong on the alluvium in drainage lines along the creeks. In the north-east beyond the still undulating shale and Blacktown soil landscape close to the river, the edge of the Hornsby Plateau produces a complex mosaic of soil landscapes including the shale-based Glenorie on the ridges, sandstone-based Gymea and Hawkesbury on the slopes and in the valleys, and patches of Lucas Heights associated with outcropping Mittagong Formation lying between Wianamatta shale and Hawkesbury Sandstone.
