Their territory was located on the southern side of Port Jackson from South Head to around present-day Petersham, and as far south as the Alexandra Canal and Cooks River.

There is firm evidence of various Aboriginal campsites within the city, including the 'KENS' site between Kent, Erskine, Napoleon and Sussex Streets and the Wynyard Walk campsite.  Further south, a campsite, or 'midden' was found on the eastern side of Darling Harbour, in the Darling Quarter, and an unidentified area somewhere near Hyde Park South which was an important gathering place and ceremonial contest ground.

Upon European contact, it is thought that some of Sydney's main thoroughfares, such as George Street and Macquarie Street, followed established Aboriginal tracks.  The area around the harbour was an important hunting, fishing and camping ground for Aboriginal people prior to the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 and beyond. However, the majority of those that were not killed by the colonists or by introduced diseases soon moved to areas on the outskirts of town, such as La Perouse.  Despite the hardships, Gadigal culture survived.
