Australia’s national identity developed into one centred around the values of hard work, perseverance and mateship—values which are still central to our identity today.

The City of Whittlesea recognises the rich Aboriginal heritage of Australia and acknowledges the Wurundjeri Willum people as the traditional owners. Before European settlement, the Aboriginal people of the Wurundjeri Willum lived on the land that now forms the City of Whittlesea and the northern suburbs of Melbourne. There are currently between 1000 and 1500 Wurundjeri Willum people living in Victoria.
The 1788 colonisation at Sydney cove, disrupted trade and access to natural resources and impacted the Gameraigal way of life. Between 1790 and 1820 the colony expanded into the Gameraigal lands.
