PHIVE Presents: Aboriginal Cultural Warami Mittigar Walk

Join Aunty Leanne on this relaxed walk to learn how local Aboriginal groups survived and thrived in the Parramatta region. Discover ongoing connections to Country.

The Dharug people are Parramatta’s first people and the traditional keepers of this land. Parramatta’s name comes from their word “burramatta, meaning “the place of eels”.
