Description

Layer Warning:

This map aims only to show the most commonly accepted Indigenous names of cities. There may be many Indigenous names for a place depending on context, place and/or landmark within a city. Some names may be contested by different Indigenous groups. We have tried to provide links for more information about each name and the complexities related to each location.

Connected to the Red Kangaroo Dreaming, Tarndanya refers to the location south of the Karrawirra Parri (Torrens River) covering what is now the site of Adelaide city. The Kaurna word directly translates as 'male red kangaroo rock', referring to an original rock formation on the site, now destroyed. Hear Gomeroi woman and 10 News First journalist Madeline Hayman-Reber pronounce the traditional place name of Tarndanya (Adelaide).
