DID YOU KNOW? 😲 The word Darkinjung, which is the Traditional Owners of parts of the Central Coast, means "much water" 💦

Makes sense for the Central Coast and its beautiful waterways! 🌏💙

We feel grateful and privileged to be able to support our community on this beautiful land.

This Welcome to Country song, that was proudly presented to Central Coast Council’s Environmental Education and Estuary Management teams, featuring Uncle Gavi Duncan, a director on Darkinjung Land Council, says:

"Welcome to Darkinjung Land.
From the Dyarubbin (traditional land of the Hawkesbury River)
to the Awaba (traditional land of Lake Macquarie),
from the sacred mountain of Mount Yengo to the sea,
we'd like to say 'Yaama' and welcome you to these beautiful lands.
We walk together, we share together as one,
under the sun, the moon, the stars.
Yaama."
