Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAD : Cadigal
The Cadigal, also spelled as Gadigal, are a group of Indigenous Australians who originally inhabited the area that became the Marrickville Local Government Area of Sydney. Cadigal territory lies south of Port Jackson and stretches from South Head to Petersham with part of the southern boundary lying on the Cooks River. The Cadigal language is a derivative of the Darug language.
The numbers of Cadigal were severely reduced following the British settlement of Australia in 1788.
