The Bugulmara People
Where They Lived
The Bugulmara people lived near a town called Croydon. This area is in Queensland, Australia. Their land was quite large, covering about 7,770 square kilometers (3,000 square miles). They shared strong connections with the Maikulan people, who lived to their south. These connections were important for their culture and way of life.
What Happened to Their Land
The Bugulmara people faced big changes when gold was found in their area. This led to a "gold rush." Many people came to the area looking for gold. Because of this, the Bugulmara quickly lost control of their traditional lands. This was a difficult time for them and their community.
