Two iconic tourist spots in northern NSW will be officially known by their Indigenous names after calls from the community to recognise their significant cultural heritage.
Walgan, meaning 'shoulder' in the Bundjalung language, will be the dual name for Cape Byron, the Australian mainland's most easterly point.
