Tharawal people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tharawal (or Dharawal) people were the Aboriginal inhabitants of southern Sydney and the Illawarra region in 1788, when the first European colonists arrived. The Tharawal people lived in the areas from south side of Botany Bay, around Port Hacking to north of the Shoalhaven River and inland to Campbelltown and Camden. The Tharawal people spoke the Tharawal language.
Alternative spellings include Dharawal, Darawal, Carawal, Turawal, Thurawal, Thurrawal, Thurrawall, Turu-wal, Turuwul, Turrubul, Turuwull.
