Aboriginal histories and culture

The Dharawal people are the Custodians of land in and around the Royal National Park. 

This area contains sites that are of great significance to Aboriginal people including rock engravings and rock overhangs. 

The Dharawal have had a long connection to Country. They have developed their own calendar to measure seasons. 

The Changing Seasons is an amazing resource developed by Gibberagong Environmental Education Centre. Learn how the six seasons in the Sydney area are linked to events happening in nature at different times of the year, then complete activities created for you.
