02.01.2022 Aboriginal country (pre-1800) For tens of thousands of years prior to European settlement, numerous Aboriginal tribes including the Gu-ring-gai and Darug people lived and thrived in the Hornsby region. The Hawkesbury River, which they called Deerubbin, was central to their way of life. Yams, a staple food, grew plentifully along the riverbanks, and both men and women fished for fish, eels, and shellfish within the river. Bark canoes were used for travel and transportation along the rivers and creeks which provided efficient transport routes between tribes. Many of the local names reflect this early connection to water, such as Deerubbin meaning wide, deep water and Cowan meaning big water. A number of cave paintings and engravings were created along the waterways, which still exist today in over 200 Aboriginal heritage sites.
