History
[edit | edit source]The area occupied by the country was the traditional lands of three groups of Aboriginal tribes.
Living In the west of the County along the Warrego river, were the Gunu people, living in the south along the flood plain of the Darling River were the Barranbidgee people with the Wangoibon tribes living on the adjacent river bank of the Darling River, in what is today Cowper Country.
In the north of the County lived the Manuwari people.
The first Europeans to the County were the expedition of Charles Sturt in 1828. Followed by the expedition of Thomas Mitchell in 1835.
Poet Henry Lawson came to the Country walking from Bourke to Hungerford in 1892.
And another poet, Oglevy coined the phrase "Back of Burke" to describe the remoteness of the northern part of the country during his time working in Engonnia in the years around Federation.
