The Bidjigal also spelt Bediagal people are a group of Indigenous Australians living to the West of Sydney. Their geographical location is confusing, as they seem to have been based in Southern Sydney southern Sydney , in the region between the Cooks River and the Georges River and yet also seem to have inhabited land in Hills District Sydney north western Sydney, in what is now Baulkham Hills . Others say that the Bidjigal people span from La Perouse, Botany Bay down to the Illawarra. The language group to which they belong is Tharawal language Dharawal , which spanned from Sydney to Jervis Bay. Attenbrow 2002 discusses their possible origin and location, and concludes that the question is somewhat vexed , while Kohen 1993 suggests that there may have been some confusion between two distinct groups the Bidjigal living in the Baulham Hills area and the Bediagal at Botany Bay in the Salt Pan Creek area. If this is the case, then this article is about the Bidjigal people living in the Baulkham Hills area. The Bidjigal are sometimes said to be a clan of the Dharuk people, and sometimes a clan of the Eora people, and this may result from the confusion described above. However, it is also possible that they were a distinct group with their own Bidjigal language. The name Bidjigal means plains dweller in the Dharuk language. Perhaps the most famous Bidjigal person was Pemulwuy , who successfully led Aboriginal Resistance forces against the British Army before finally being captured and killed and eventually beheaded . The name of the Bidjigal is today remembered by the name of Bidjigal Reserve , in Baulkham Hills , Castle Hill, Carlingford, North Rocks and Northmead to the North West of Sydney . The Bidjigal Reserve was known as Excelsior Park until 2004. It is the site of the earliest known Indigenous Australians Aboriginal occupation of Sydney.

The Bidjigal Reserve is a Nature reserve reserve in the shire of Baulkham Hills Shire Baulkham Hills , to the north west of Sydney. The reserve lies in the suburbs of North Rocks , Northmead , Baulkham Hills , Castle Hill, New South Wales Castle Hill , West Pennant Hills , and Carlingford, New South Wales Carlingford . The reserve lies south of Richard Webb Reserve in West Pennant Hills, and nearly all of the reserve lies to the north of the M2 Hills Motorway M2 Motorway . The reserve is some 186ha in area almost 2 square km . Name Its name commemorates the Bidjigal people who lived in the area. In particular, it is said that Pemulwuy , a Bidjigal leader of aboriginal resistance against British occupation, used the area as a base to mount attacks on neighbouring homesteads. The reserve includes a long section of Darling Mills Creek , a tributary of the Parramatta River , and once an important source of water both to the mills in Parramatta, and for drinking. Features The reserve includes a number of walking trails which range from short circular walks up to walks of several kilometres in length, some of which join on to the Great North Walk . The reserve is home to a wide range of native flora and fauna, and in recent years there have been reliable recordings of koala , swamp wallaby , echidna , eastern water dragon , and sugar gliders , as well as the ubiquitous brushtail and ringtail possums . Powerful owl have also been seen in the reserve. Foxes have been largely eradicated by a continuing baiting program, leading to a significant increase in the number of native animals in the reserve. The reserve also includes a local landmark known locally as the Aboriginal Cave at Latitude 33.758010 Longitude 151.011660 which is a rock shelter that was apparently described in times of early European occupation as being a cave used by the Bidjigal people.
