Description
South Esk River:
The often quoted Tasmanian Aboriginal Palawa name for the river is mangana lienta, from the word menanyer meaning 'large stream' and liena meaning either fresh water or related to loonder a word for plains around the Fingal Valley'. The river's northern reaches were known as mooronnoe (moor.ron.noe - which translates as 'river on the plain') and the river west of the Ben Lomond massif was known as pleepertoommelar.
The South Esk River runs through, and forms the borders of, traditional lands of two nations of the Palawa. The Ben Lomond Nation occupied territory enclosed by the river's western and southern stretches and occupied the entire upper reaches as far as its northern watershed. The Panninher, Tyrernotepanner and Leterremairrener clans of the North Midlands Nation occupied the territories to the west of the river. The Aboriginal clans exploited the hunting grounds alongside the river and took the native freshwater mussel for food.
The river was frequented by Aboriginal people and remnants of their campsites and toolmaking have been found along the river.
