First off, apologies if my geography's incorrect. I'm an Aussie.

I recently saw the post of the road rage incident on Parramatta Lane off I45 and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the naming history of Parramatta Lane. The reason I ask is because it's a specific First Nations (Australian) word from the Burramattagal people on Darug Land – part of which is now known as 'Parramatta' in South West Sydney, NSW. I'm very interested to know how an Aboriginal word ended up being used!

If anyone has any info, that would be awesome. I tried to look it up but my efforts were fruitless!

Thank you!
