Channel 10 has marked the beginning of NAIDOC week by using traditional names for Australian capital cities in its weather bulletin.
The network has been praised for Sunday night’s TV forecast, where weather presenter Amanda Jason used traditional names instead of colonial names.
The traditional names were also depicted on the nation’s weather map on screen.
“Now the first Sunday of July is the first day of NAIDOC week to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land,” Jason began.

Were there any cities before England settlers arrived in Australia? None that I know of.
