Ngarrindjeri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ngarrindjeri is the language and traditional Aboriginal people of the lower Murray River and western Fleurieu Peninsula, Australia. The traditional areas extend from Mannum downstream through Murray Bridge and Goolwa and along the coast through Victor Harbor to Cape Jervis to the southwest and around Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert and the Coorong to around Kingston SE.
The Ngarrindjeri achieved a great deal of publicity in the 1990s due to their opposition to the construction of a bridge from Goolwa to Hindmarsh Island, including a Royal Commission and a High Court case in 1996.
