ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTRY The Dictionary of Sydney acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia and pays respect to elders both past and present. The story of Aboriginal Sydney could not be told without recognising their achievements. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this website contains images and voices of people who have died. In some Aboriginal communities, seeing the names and photographs of dead people may cause sadness and distress, particularly to relatives of those people. Copyright Dictionary of Sydney, 2016.
