How did Narrabeen get its name?🌞🌈🚣🦆 There are many stories of how Narrabeen was named – the word means swan in the Aboriginal language/ He claimed the words were of Aboriginal origin and referred to a number of swans in the area.” According to The Budawa Aboriginal Signage Group Inc., Narrabeen means “source of fresh water”. The possible true origin: On January 26 1801, Lieutenant James Grant and a party of three were walking to Pittwater, where they hoped to find a small rowing boat which had been stolen from Sydney. According to Grant’s journal, at the mouth of the lagoon, he was confronted by a stream and the problem of crossing it. The Aborigines told him that their name for the stream was Narrowbine. Grant recorded it faithfully in his journal which was published later that year. Many historians have debated how the name Narrabeen was derived and all appear to have overlooked Grant’s journal. – from an article in the Manly Daily, March 18 1998 by John Morcombe.
