Do you know the large Australian cities of Gariwerd or D'harawai ?

These names appear on the indigenous part of the BOM website for Melbourne and Sydney.

Are these the future names of the cities ?

Thery aren't "cities". They are the names of the indiginous Australian people of these regions. For more information on D'harawai for example read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tharawal
