The Ginninderry Aboriginal Advisory Group, comprising the recognised Aboriginal Knowledge Holders for the area, support the naming of the Conservation Corridor as the ‘Ginninderry Conservation Corridor’. Ginninderry is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning “throwing out little rays of light” or simply “sparkling”. It’s a very appropriate name for a community and landscape that will be bounded by the Murrumbidgee River and Ginninderra Creek. Over time, the word has taken various forms, including Ginninginninderry, Ghinninghinninderra and Gingininderra, with recent linguistic work by AIATSIS suggesting Djinindirri. Ginninderry was first used for one of the early homesteads in the area including the creek that bordered its land. It’s had various iterations over time: Ginninginninderry, Gingininderra and Ginninderra. After extensive consultation, it was decided that Ginninderry, and its reference to the stunning river corridor, was a name that had both historical provenance and contemporary relevance.
