Koamu (QLD)
| Location | South of St. George on the Balonne River to Angledool, Hebel, and Brenda; west to Bollon and Nebine Creek; at Dirranbandi. Reference to Kaoambal in my 1940 work was a lapse. Honery in Ridley (1878) places this tribe on the Warrego, which is too far to the west. Mathews (1902) included the people of this tribe with the Ualarai in his study of his 'Yualeai' language. Their dialects are very similar. |
Co-ordinates | 147°40'E x 28°30'S |
Area | 6,000 sq. m. (15,600 sq. km.) |
References | Honery in Ridley, 1878; Mathews, 1902 (Gr. 6487); Kelly, 1935; Tindale, 1940; Wurm, 1963; Breen, 1969 MS. |
Alternative Names | Kuamu, Kuam, Guamu, Guwamu, Oamu (valid variant by a man of the tribe). |
