Indigenous Culture
The word Diramu means tree in the Aboriginal language of the Darug Nation, the traditional owners of Sydney. Diramu symbolises strength and knowledge. A tree provides food, shelter and many of the tools and implements used in our traditional life including boomerangs, canoes and didgeridoos.
