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.

Gulmerrogin (also ) translates as 'our land' in the Larrakia language. Garramilla, another Larrakia word means 'white rock' and refers to the white stone cliff faces found around Darwin's beaches and harbour. Larrakia Country runs from the Cox peninsula in the west, to Gunn Point in the north, and the Adelaide River in the east, down to the Manton Dam area southwards. See Senior Larrakia Elder, Uncle Doctor Richard Fejo explain the traditional place name of Gulmerrogin (Darwin).
