The Aboriginal People, History and Culture
The word "aboriginal" means "the first" or "earliest known". The word was first used in Italy and Greece to describe the people who lived there, natives or the old inhabitants.
Before the Europeans
Prior to the arrival of the Europeans, Northern Sydney was occupied by different Aboriginal clans. They provided food for themselves by fishing and harvesting the surrounding bushland. The aboriginals had no reason to travel overseas, as all their recourses were available to them in Australia.
