d_benincasa Um that's well over 500..
We already do and this country is an amalgamation of all who lived here and all who came.
To what end?
Great initiative. I'd love to learn more
I wish more schools taught this
So important. There is such grandeur in this view of land and life if only Australians had eyes to see.

I reckon knowing indigenous seasons would make more sense than the northern hemisphere lot.
'I live on the Wallagaraugh River, and we're not really sure what Wallagaraugh means,' he said. 'You learn the name, you learn your country.” - But we should all lean from you ? Seems Uncle Pascoe the lauded Dreamtime Historian can only spin rubbish in English.
realy
Don’t all the towns names translate to lazy useless pricks
Nonsense I have as much claim to this land as anyone else.
I know a couple.. pullabarraback...kickatinalong.. is there more I can learn🤔☺️
Bruce Pascoe is my hero. Aboriginal history should be a subject in schools. It is their land after all. Keep up the good work Bruce. I live on aboriginal land.
FatherBob Upon entering Blacktown, there's a sign that informs you that this land belongs to the Darug people ♡. Years ago, when we first moved here, I wondered why it was named so. Was shocked but not so shocked when I learned why.
White people turn themselves inside out when someone says 'here, try saying this non English word' but will inject semen into their arms to cure back pain
Ah no thanks . Where’s that written word again ?
Why?
Why should I learn the Indigenous name the kids these days have enough trouble with basic English this is just being PC if you ask me
Should be more of this taught in schools. Helps build empathy so we will have future generations of people with more respect and willing to help!
A useful aspect of learning.
we learnt of one the other day...charged with murder I believe.
I have geometry, white fella magic, so I just need latitude & longitude to know where I'm at & I'll make of a place whatever it means to me, which probably has more to do with its future potential than somebody's version of the past. You can't run far with your head on backwards.
no thanks ,trying to learn French from the girl next door.
‘Over my dead body.’ Said all the privileged white persons.
Speak English.
Let’s start with English and Indigenous major street name and suburb and Council name signage .
no thanks
Abc news needs to move away from social commentary and report the news as it happens without bias, comment or slant. Let the reader/ listener form their own opinion.
So have the residents of Lakemba had their history lessons? How about Kuraby in Brisbane, or the Shire of Logan? I suppose it’s ok for them to build on sacred land? aupol just not whities
Unless the words are shorter than ones like Oz, Brissy and the Goldy, not gonna happen
Nah- don't think so.
They should teach aboriginal history and language in class instead of chinese and japanese
Sounds like a great idea. I live in Narrabeen it means, source of fresh water. I know my area of country and it’s spirit is in me.
Ayres Rock.
Let's see... 'Yarra' has been found to be Egyptian for 'Stream' and is still in use there. Corowa is a fishing town in Wales and is awesome for Trout. Kakadu (actually spelled Qaqqadu) is Sumerian, meaning 'head' and is also used in Egypt. So, where are the Aboriginal words?
How about ABC shut up and start real news reporting
In that case, stop appropriating other cultures and lose the outboard motor.
Other people say that too other than indigenous historian's. I'll think you'll find most caretakers of the land will say that. Farmers, agrinomacists..
