The Julaolinja (Ulaolinya, Yurlayurlanya) were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland.
Country
The Julaolinja were a people of the Channel Country, with an estimated (according to Norman Tindale) territorial range of some 2,400 square miles (6,200 km2), centered on the upper Mulligan River around Carlo Springs[1]
History
The Julaolinja, according to Kevin Tibbett, were one of three tribes, the other two being the Wongkadjera and the Rungarungawa, whose position around the pituri growing area of the Mulligan River enabled them to control the trade routes from the northeast through to the southwest, by using the native narcotic and stone axes from the north as trading goods.[2]
With the onset of colonial settlement of their lands, they eventually shifted east to the area around Marion Downs.[1]
