Pinnacle's Aboriginal Land Council region

Here's a link to the NSW Aboriginal Land Council's website: http://www.alc.org.au

The following page from the above website has a link behind it which shows all of the Local Aboriginal Land Council Regions in NSW: http://www.alc.org.au/land-councils/lalc-regions--boundaries.aspx

From the map in the above link I've taken a screen print and created a JPG file with the image covering the Pinnacle locality and showing the LOLC region we are in as well as those adjacent.


The main points from the above in terms of the locality of Pinnacle are:

  • It falls within the broader Wiradjuri Linguistic Group region
  • It falls totally within the Cowra Local Aboriginal Land Council Region
  • It is very close to the West Wyalong (to the west), Condobolin (just west of north) and Peak Hill (north) Local Aboriginal Land Council Regions
For those not aware the Pinnacle area is not far to the north of the Weddin Mountains. These were of great significance to the Wiradjuri people being near the geographic centre of Wiradjuri Country and known as a place to stay - in the context of initiation of young men.
