Welcome to Aboriginal Studies Western NSW
This is how we are helping to maintain the culture in the Wiradjuri people. We have set up a learning program for all people to come and be taught all about their culture and ancestors. Throughout our sight you ill be able to find information all about our Tribe and how we are helping to develop this is the future.
There were many thousands of people who spoke the Wiradjuri language, making it the largest nation in NSW. The Wiradjuri people occupied a large part of central NSW, see the map of the area Wiradjuri covers. The southern border was the Murray River from Albury upstream to an area south of Tumbarumba. From here the border went north along the edges of the mountains, past Tumut and Gundagai to Lithgow. The territory continued up to Merriwa and across to Dubbo, then west across the plains to the Willandra creek near Mossgiel. The Booligal swamps are near the western border and down to Hay. From Hay the territory extended across the Riverina plains passing the Jerilderie area to Albury.
The exact border is not known and some of the territories overlapped with neighbouring tribes. Places like Lake Urana were probably a shared resource as was the Murray River.
