Clive Park
Exploring Clive Park
Clive Park continues to be a significant Cammeraygal cultural site within the geographical boundary of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Broken Bay. In some cases, like OLGC Forestville, they might not be that well known but are located very close to our schools.
The Cammeraygal people lived in the Northbridge area for countless generations. Here they raised and educated their young enagaged in ceremony and buried their ancestors. Much of the evidence of their presence in this area has been erased through the building of houses. Clive Park protects some of the remaining sites.
Sadly, these important cultural sites are at great risk of damage and may soon disappear forever through disrepectful practices. This VR resource enables students to explore significant cultural sites in Northbridge.
