Dharrang is a word from Wiradjuri language, meaning message stick.
'Message sticks' were used as a traditional way of communication.
Message sticks were transmitted between different communities across the massive landscape of Australia. Messages communicated may have included announcements of ceremonies, invitations to meetings, corroborees, or marriages.
