Cadigal land lies south of Port Jackson and stretches from South Head to Petersham with part of our southern boundary lying on the Cooks River. On the western border lies the territory of the Wangal nation, which extends along the southern shore of the Parramatta River to Parramatta.

Suburbs close to the city such as Glebe are also the home of the Cadigal and Wangal ancestors and the surrounding bushland was rich in plant, bird and animal life with fish and rock oysters available from Blackwattle Bay.

This also includes what is now known as Marrickville as well as other local government areas.
