Welcome to the Country of the three clans of the Stoney Creek Nation (language group)- the Tyerrenoterpanner, the Leterremairrener and the Panninher. We meet near the merging place of three important river systems- our longest river  is known as South Esk River.

It has at least 3 names- Mangana Lienta (or big river where it begins under Ben Lomond) and then Moorronnoe (the winding/dancing water through places such as Longford and Hadspen) and finally it is Pleepertoommelar – meaning flowing or perhaps rapid water, as it is known as it enters the gorge and meets the headwater of the Tamar River (known here as Kunermurlukeker) and the mouth of the North Esk River which is called Lakekellar.

We also acknowledge the name changes from Kunermurlukeker to Ponrabbel as the freshwater changes to salt.
