EtymologyTarndanyangga derives from tarnda (red kangaroo) and kanya ('rock'), -ngga is a suffix meaning place, area or region. The name is said to originate from a former red rocky outcrop in Elder Park, Adelaide which resembled a kangaroo; the rock has since been removed and was used in the construction of Parliament House. SignificanceTarndanyangga is still considered an important meeting place for Indigenous peoples. It is the focus for many political and community-based Indigenous events, such as the Journey of Healing and it is the starting point for the annual [https://web.archive.org/web/20050928062538/http://www.atsic.gov.au/events/naidoc/ NAIDOC] march to Parliament House.
