Ngulungbara facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Ngulungbara were an Aboriginal Australian people or clan of Fraser Island in the state of Queensland, possibly of the Butchulla people.

Country

The Ngulingbara's status as an independent tribe has been contested, since some authorities consider them to have been a horde of the Butchulla, since the -bara suffix in their ethnonym is suggestive of a clan grouping. They occupied a sector of Fraser Island north of Boomerang Hill and, in Norman Tindale's estimate, inhabited an area of some 200 square miles (520 km2).
