Kunggara (QLD)
| Location | Staaten River south to Smithburne River and Delta Downs; inland to Stirling and Lotus Vale. The term 'Okerlika' sometimes placed on the map here has no meaning to present day aborigines of the area. Sharp (1938:449) used this term (i.e., Okerlila) as an artificial designation for a type of social organization, but spells the term three ways in a dozen lines-Okerkila, Okerlila, and Okerlika. Kuritjara is a valid alternative to Kunggara and that preferred by one of my principal informants. Some persons roll the r sound strongly with loss of the terminal vowel, hence ['Kurtjar]. In recent years many of the people have settled on Delta Downs Station. Davidson (1938), on his map, placed the name 150 miles (240 km.) to the southwest of its real position. |
