Unumgar, New South Wales

The origin of the name Unumgar is unclear but it was possibly derived from a Bundjalung language word meaning 'a place infested with lizards'; however the Aboriginal people living there when Europeans first colonised were unsure as this name had been given to the area by an earlier tribe. Another origin is suggested by linguist Margaret Sharpe who has suggested that the name is taken from the word Djurbil which means ritual site (for honey, wattle grub and perch) or water. == Notes ==
