Wallumettagal

The Wallumettagal or Wallumedegal tribe was an indigenous Aboriginal tribe that inhabited the area of Lower Northern Sydney today known as the Ryde-Hunters Hill area of the North Shore. Common Aboriginal names in this part of Lower Northern Sydney also include 'Willandra' and 'Jacaranda'.

In the earlier days of North Shore history, even before the Ryde-Hunters Hill area was known as Kissing Point, it was known as Wallumatta; in honor of its original inhabitants.
