The historical themes on this site have been written by Dr Anita Heiss who is a Sydney based Wiradjuri author and social commentator. Additional historical research and writing by Terri McCormack.

The research for this site was made available by City of Sydney to Gadigal Information Service. The audio files you can hear come from their six-part radio series "Barani: An Aboriginal history of Inner Sydney". Research, interviews & narration are by Anita Heiss and production is by Caroline Barton. Courtesy of Koori Radio.

The City of Sydney History Program and City of Sydney Archives provided research and support throughout the development of Barani.

This site was designed by the Indigenous multimedia company, CyberDreaming.
