AIATSIS Thesaurus language code and map grid reference: (S69) (SA SI54-13) For more information, refer to the AIATSIS Thesauri (see reference below). A factsheet of the State Library of South Australia (c2007) states the following: 'Ngarrindjeri is an Aboriginal nation of 18 language groups who occupied, and still inhabit, the Lower Murray, Coorong and Lakes area of South Australia. Their lands and waters extended 30km up the Murray from Lake Alexandrina, the length of the Coorong and the coastal area to Encounter Bay. Today this Aboriginal group is still very strong, with a large community of people based in the Lower Murray and Coorong area.'
