Yirranma Place acknowledges that we work, live and play on the stolen land of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation, who are the traditional custodians of Darlinghurst. Yirranma pays respect to the elders past, present and future of the Eora Nation and extends that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait people.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
Music was performed by Australian First Nations peoples not only at corroborees but throughout everyday life. Colonists described Gadigal women frequently singing while fishing from their canoes, their voices carrying across the waters to the shore. Europeans recorded witnessing corroborees involving the sounds of singing, beating wooden instruments and rhythmic dancing; one of the spots where these occasions occurred was at Bennelong Point, now the site of the Sydney Opera House. As hills were also prime locations for corroborees, it is possible that similar events occurred in the vicinity of Darlinghurst heights.
