Warrane (Pre-1788)

Warrane is the name the traditional landowners, the Cadigal people, gave to the area known as Sydney Cove today. This exhibition examines the relationship of the Cadigal people with their environment, identity, community and spirituality before the arrival of Europeans.

The changing natural environment of the area is illustrated in a specially designed audio visual presentation which shows how the Sydney basin was transformed over the last 50,000 years from a small river to the harbour we see today.
