Aboriginal Australian people of Fraser Island, Queensland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
The Ngulungbara were an Aboriginal Australian people or clan of K'gari (formerly known as 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 the island of K'gari north of Boomerang Hill and, in Norman Tindale's estimate, inhabited an area of some 200 square miles (520 km2).[1]
