Strathfield Heritage 
Dear Cathy,
In recent months (of 2021), the ABC has been displaying a geographic location as well as the Indigenous name of the city of broadcast as well as in news stories.
It prompted my curiosity about the Indigenous inhabitants of Belfield in both the Strathfield and Canterbury LGAs.
Checking the respective LGAs’ websites, would Belfield have been inhabited by both the Wangal and Darug peoples of the Eora Nation or was it the excluve areaof only one?
But which one?
Thank you,
Anthony of exciting Belfield
