Kawambarai (NSW)
|
| | Location | Upper Castlereagh River, the middle Macquarie River, and part of Liverpool Plains south to near Dubbo. Richardson says they are closely related to the Wiradjuri. The data given by Tibbetts appear to belong with this tribe. The burbung ceremony described by Mathews (1896) on Bulgeraga Creek was held in the territory of this tribe. Mathews (1903) encountered them at Gunnedah, which is east of their real country. |
