This is a picture of Sydney city by night. For around 30.000
years Sydney has been occupied by indigenous Australians. In
1788 when the first fleet arrived there were between 4000 and
8000 Aborigines living in Sydney. The Lieutenant James Cook, a
British, explored the island in 1770. The first settlement by
British was made in 1788, by Arthur Phillip. In the region there
were three different languages groups. The main languages were
Darug and Cardigal. The Eora were the indigenous living on the
land of the actual Sydney city and it was called at this time
Barani which means Yesterday. Eora means “from this place” or
“here”. The Central Sydney is often called Eora Country. The
Cadigal are the descendants of the Eora people and still live in
Sydney nowadays. Some of the suburbs of Sydney are Redfern,
Zetland, Waterloo, Ultimo, Alexandria, The Rocks, Rosebery,
Pyrmont, Barangaroo, Woolloomooloo, Sydney Central Business
District, Darlinghurst, Beaconfield, Potts Point, Haymarket,
Dawes Point, Elizabeth Bay, Glebe, Rushcutters Bay, Eveleighs,
Millers Point, Forest Lodge, Erskineville, Moore Park and Surry
