Wyndham City Council would like to pay respect and acknowledge the Bunurong and Wadawurrung People’s as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Wyndham Council is located.
The Wyndham area is rich and diverse in its Aboriginal history and was inhabited by the Bunurong and Wadawurrung People who also belong to the Kulin Nation. There are five different language groups in the Kulin Nation that are particular to this region.
These groups operated within their own tribal boundaries. However, with the shifting of natural boundaries over the years and the growth of Australia’s population, the old tribal boundaries are not so widely known. The collective traditional territory for the tribes of the Kulin Nation extends around Port Phillip and Western Port, up into the Great Dividing Range and the Loddon and Goulburn River valleys.
