Malegoondeet

Malegoondeet lies in Wiradjuri country north of the Murrumbidgee River, near the plains west of the Cocoparra Range. The Murrumbidgee, the Lachlan and the Macquarie are the three rivers associated with Wiradjuri country. Wetlands in the Murrumbidgee region provided eggs, young birds, freshwater crayfish, mussels and plants to people travelling between the river and the hills. The Cocoparra ridges rise above the surrounding plains, marking a distinct feature in this riverine landscape.
