NAIDOC Week - Naming of 2 reserves

The history of the Awabakal peoples is written in our landscape. Locally many of our reserve names connect us to the language of the oldest culture on earth.

• Yarul - cloud watching place
• Wombal - the sea beach
• Wippi - wind
• Birriban – the talented Awabakal linguist
• Gurranba – the place of brambles
• Puntei – narrow place, or any narrow neck of land
• Killibinbin – bright, shining, beautiful

On exhibition from 8/7/19 to 5/8/19 is the proposed naming of two local reserves, the former Pony club, proposed to be named Puntei Park and the unnamed foreshore reserve at the southern end of Laycock Street proposed to be named Killibinbin Reserve.

Submissions on the naming can be sent to spichaloff@lakemac.nsw.gov.au by close of business Monday 5 August 2019.
