Back when people still lived in this forest

.

Let's continue the previous two posts and stay in Australia's Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden.
Here's daughter Naomi surveying the trails before she and I set out into the wild bush country.
You can click a few times and enlarge the photo to see the topography.


The maps says that "Guringai was the language of the people who first inhabited this area."


In many locations in and around Sydney, where I was visiting,  I saw statements like the one above:
Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land, the Guringai people on whose land we now stand,  we pay our respects to Elders past and present. 
 .
(Linking this M is for Map post to ABC Wednesday.)
