Wadikali (NSW)

Location: Yandama and Callabonna creeks; east to Milparinka and Naryilco; at Lake Pinaroo, Tilcha, and Yandama. The important trade route carrying baler shell ornaments and axes from Cloncurry in return for millstones and Parachilna ochre was along Yandama Creek with the Wadikali as important intermediaries. Evidently these are the people of Evelyn Creek indicated on earlier maps.
