The Neighborhood:
We acknowledge the traditional owners of the Bowral area are the Gundungurra people. The Gundungurra are an Indigenous Australian group who have lived in the Southern Highlands region of New South Wales for thousands of years.

The Gundungurra people have a deep spiritual and cultural connection to the land, which they call "Dharruk." The Bowral area, which is located within the traditional lands of the Gundungurra, was an important meeting place and trading center for Aboriginal people from different clans and language groups.

Today, the Gundungurra people continue to maintain their connection to their traditional lands and culture through various cultural events, workshops, and community initiatives. The Gundungurra Tribal Council, which represents the interests of the Gundungurra people, is involved in various programs aimed at promoting cultural awareness and understanding, as well as advocating for the protection of Aboriginal heritage sites and cultural practices.

Visitors to the Bowral area can learn more about the rich history and culture of the Gundungurra people through various educational and cultural programs, as well as through guided tours of important sites and landmarks.
