Barangaroo: Aboriginal Leader


You might know Barangaroo as the new dining and business precinct in Sydney Australia, but the real Barangaroo’s story is as far from the glitzy precinct as possible. Literally - Barangaroo wasn’t even born in that part of Sydney. 


She was born around 15 kilometres away around Manly, where the Cammeraygal people lived. There, she grew to become a powerful leader. 


That’s all we’ll tell you for now. You’ll have to tune in to hear the story! It features fisherwomen, broken spears and one badass woman striving to celebrate her culture at a time when it was under an unprecedented threat.
