Darkinjung

Darkinjung is an Aboriginal Land Council serving the Central Coast region between Catherine Hill Bay and the Hawkesbury River. The territory stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Watagan Mountains and is managed by this local authority.

This organization was established in 1983 under New South Wales Aboriginal Land Rights Act to protect the interests of Aboriginal people in the region. Since then, it has become a key voice in land management decisions and the preservation of local rights.

The Darkinyung people are the original inhabitants of this coastal region, and their language and way of life continue to shape how the land is understood and used today. Visitors can experience cultural events and gatherings that bring local stories and traditions to life.

This territory is accessible to visitors through multiple entry points, with major towns and smaller communities serving as good starting bases. Information about availability and services should be checked ahead, as opening hours and accessibility can vary depending on the area.

This organization jointly manages several state forest areas with the government, taking an active role in modern forest conservation programs. This partnership demonstrates how traditional knowledge systems work together with contemporary management practices.
