Sydney’s iconic harbour sits atop ancient Aboriginal river valley

Sydney, Australia, Apr 17 (EFE).- Long before the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge defined Australia's iconic skyline, the area now known as Sydney Harbour was a river valley inhabited by Aboriginal communities, a hidden past now being rediscovered through Indigenous-led cultural tours.

Aboard boats navigating those same waters, local and international visitors are invited to rediscover a landscape that existed long before steel and concrete reshaped the coastline but now remains submerged beneath water and urban development.
