Southern Kaurna Placenames

Kaurna Aboriginal people are the Traditional Owners of the Adelaide plains in South Australia. Prior to European settlement they named places using their own language and some places eg, Willunga, are still known by their Kaurna name but most are not.

The Kaurna Place Names project is a collaboration between four southern councils, geographical names unit and Kaurna Warra Pintyandi. This project aims to identify and map places with Kaurna names and to encourage the use and increase knowledge of these names. It begins with names in southern Kaurna country.
