Eora
Aboriginal Australian nation of New South Wales
About
The Eora (; also Yura) are an Aboriginal Australian people of New South Wales. Eora is the name given by the early colonising British military officers to a group of Aboriginal people belonging to the clans along the coastal area of what is now known as the Sydney basin, in New South Wales, Australia. The Eora spoke a dialect of the language of the Darug people, whose traditional lands lie further inland within the Sydney basin, to the west of the Eora.
Contact with the first white settlement's bridgehead into Australia quickly devastated much of the population through epidemics of smallpox and other diseases. Descendants live on, though their traditions, languages, social system, and way of life are mostly lost.
