How Nowra got it's name

HOW NOWRA GOT ITS NAME

 

Tiana Cutis and Nicole Miller, students from Shoalhaven High School, narrated this Aboriginal story at a special ceremony in Junction Court in Nowra on 26th May 1999 – the Journey of Healing Day.

 

“A long time ago there were lots of white cockatoos in this place. Crowds of cockatoos would fly around together shrieking and squawking.

 

Near the river there was a small mountain. One day it began to shake, and belched out huge clouds of black smoke.

 

A big flock of white cockatoos, curious about this strange event, flew through the ash and smoke.

 

When they came through the other side they felt very strange.

 

As they looked back at one another they realised they had changed colour, from snowy white to glossy black.

 

They were so surprised to see that they had changed colour they started squawking “Na Wa, Na Wa”.

 

The word Nowra means black cockatoo.

 

Shoalhaven City Council would like to thank the local Aboriginal elders for sharing this information.

Visit Meroogal, an insight into the lives of four generations of women

 

Meroogal - A personal look into the family life of four generations of women.

Feel like disappearing back to the country life of yesteryear where life was simpler and a homemade sponge cake sat on the kitchen table? Visit charming Meroogal.

Home to four generations of women from the same family, this Gothic-revival timber house has hundreds of stories to tell from the multitude of belongings and objects left by each generation. A grand house in its day, by today's standards it is in fact quite modest.

Its women were frugal while its ‘everyday’ life tells an epic story.

Meroogal is open Saturday 1pm - 5pm and Sunday 10am - 5pm.

Thursday to Sunday 1pm - 5pm in January.

Corner Worrigee & West Streets, Nowra.
