Ngaiawang (SA)
| Location | Along Murray River from Herman Landing to Penn Reach; west to scarp of Mount Lofty Ranges. Devon Downs Rock-shelter, Ngautngaut, was at their southern boundary, a place where eastern visitors, especially the Ngarkat, came during dry times to get water from the Murray River. Eyre (1846) encountered them at Lake Bonney; about ten hordes are known, including Molo, not previously recognized. Moorhouse and Ewens carried the southern limits of the tribe too far downstream leaving no room for the Nganguruku; this tribe is one of the group of smaller tribes along the lower Murray River known to early settlers as Meru. For these Mathews (1898) proposed the artificial 'nation' term Narrinyeri originally used in a different sense by Taplin. Richardson gave a name Yokka-yokka for natives at North West Bend but his placings are open to doubt. This name in the form Jakojako applies better to the Danggali who also only visited the river during periods of major drought. |
