Awarai (NT)

LocationFrom 10 miles (16 km.) north of Rum Jungle southward to Brocks Creek (now usually regarded as a subtribe of the Wulwulam, which see); according to Parkhouse the northern boundary was at 'Darwin River (43 miles, 26 chains) along the Railway Line from Darwin.' Dahl (1926) places them 'between Mt. Shoebridge and the Central Tableland,' but worked with members of this tribe who knew the country intimately to the headwaters of the Mary River where they were in fear of the Agigondin (who were apparently a horde of the Wulwulam).
