Parkes Shire is part of the Wiradjuri nation - the largest Aboriginal territory at the time of European settlement. Parkes Shire Council acknowledges the Wiradjuri people who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land and pays respect to the Elders both past and present of the Wiradjuri nation.

The Wiradjuri are the largest group in central New South Wales (NSW) by area and population, with lands stretching from Coonabarabran in the North to the Great Dividing Range and out to Western NSW, encompassing one fifth of NSW and were known as the people of the three rivers: the Wambuul (now known as the Macquarie River), the Galari (the Lachlan River), and the Marrambidya (the Murrumbidgee River).

The Wiradjuri people lived in harmony with the Country, they believed they didn't own the land, but they were responsible for looking after it. The Gugaa (Goanna) is the overarching totem for the Wiradjuri Nation. It is the symbol that connects all people, past and present, of Wiradjuri land.

We recognize and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and continuing connection with the land and rivers and recognise the resilience, strength, and pride of the Wiradjuri community.
