Size 300mmX210mm. This book was written to revive interest in a long extinct Aboriginal language of th Sydney district and to make readily available the small amount of surviving information about the language. The author refers to the language as simply 'The Sydney Language'. However, it has been known as Dharug and Iyora. It is hoped that this book will appeal to a wide audience and many illustrations have been included to help the reader visualise the Sydney people, their technology, cultural life and physical environment.
