Dja Dja Wurrung
Dja Dja Wurrung, also known as the ''Jaara people'' and ''Loddon River tribe'', is a native Aboriginal tribe which occupied the watersheds of the Loddon and Avoca Rivers in the Bendigo region of central Victoria, Australia. They were part of the Kulin alliance of tribes.〔 There were 16 clans, which adhered to a patrilineal system. Like the other Kulin peoples there were two moieties: Bunjil the eagle and Waa the crow.〔Ian D. Clark, ''Scars in the Landscape. A Register of Massacre Sites in Western Victoria 1803 - 1859'', Aboriginal Studies Press, 1995, ISBN 0-85575-281-5〕
==History==
The Dja Dja Wurrung were bound to their land by their spiritual belief system deriving from the Dreaming, when mythic beings had created the world, the people and their culture. They were part of established trade networks which allowed goods and information to flow over substantial distances. The Tachylite deposits near Spring Hill and the Coliban River may have been important trade goods as stone artefacts from this material have been found around Victoria.〔Clark, V. and Howes, J. 2010. Calder Freeway Faraday to Ravenswood, Harcourt North Section: Archaeological Monitoring During Construction. Report to VicRoads〕
There is evidence that smallpox swept through the Dja Dja Wurrung in 1789 and 1825, which would have decimated the population at the time.〔Gerry Gill, ''Sociologist presents the spiritual leader of the Jaara'', University News, Vol 16 No 37, 8 October 2007. Accessed 12 November 2008〕 The epidemics were incorporated into aboriginal mythology as a giant snake, the Mindye, sent by Bunjil, to blow magic dust over people to punish them for being bad.〔Bain Attwood, pp4 ''My Country. A history of the Djadja Wurrung 1837-1864'', Monash Publications in History:25, 1999, ISSN 08180032〕
The trade networks would have carried news of the strange white men settling on the Eora land in the early 1790s and progressively invading peoples further west and south-west of Sydney. Thomas Mitchell was probably the first white man to be seen in Dja Dja Wurrung country when he explored and surveyed central Victoria in 1836, reporting he had found large fertile plains. The invasion of the Goulburn and Loddon Districts began the following year by squatters eager to carve out a station and run.〔Bain Attwood, pp5 ''My Country. A history of the Djadja Wurrung 1837-1864'', Monash Publications in History:25, 1999, ISSN 08180032〕
