Aboriginal History of Petersham
editI think that it is important that we include information on the Aboriginal history of the area now known as Petersham. Currently, the page only describes the suburb's history from 1793.
I came across the following resource while doing cursory research into the area: https://www.sydneybarani.com.au/sites/aboriginal-people-and-place/ This page specifically mentions Petersham being the edge of the Gadigal people's territory which is an interesting and important piece of information. Also, in general this website provides a good overview on Sydney's Aboriginal history and could prove a useful source for filling in this knowledge gap on this Wikipedia page (and others about Sydney's suburbs that lack information on their Aboriginal history).

- Yes, I agree. I always try to include pre-colonial history when I am editing articles about places in Australia. I don't have time now, but feel free to have a go, using that source and anything else you can find. I have used Barani for other articles. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:01, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
