tilligerry track

Tilligerry Track is named after the Tilligerry area and was a bush track used by the Aboriginals and the first white settlers to move in and out of the area.

‘Dilligearry’ is the Aboriginal pronounced name for ‘Tillygerry’ or ‘Telligherry’ and was always assumed locally to mean pelican. However, in the ‘Gutthung’ language, the Worimi elders confirm ‘Dhunggaar’ pronounced Doorunga, means pelican. Therefore, the meaning of this word is yet to be revealed.
