Eora
The traditional owners of the inner Sydney City region of Australia are the Cadigal people. Their land south of Port Jackson stretches from South Head to Petersham. The word Eora (sometimes spelled Iora or Iyora) simply means "here" or "from this place". Local people used this word to describe where they came from to the British. "Eora" was then used by the British to refer to those Aboriginal people. The central Sydney region is still often referred to as "Eora Country". The people described by British settlers as the Eora people were probably Cadigal people, the Aboriginal tribe of the inner Sydney region in 1788 before the first European settlers arrived. The Cadigal clan lived to the southwest of the Balmain peninsula, the Wanegal to the northwest, and the Cammeraygal on the present-day lowe.
