Karuwali

The Karuwali were an indigenous people of the state of Queensland.

Country

Norman Tindale estimated that the Karuwali's lands extended over some 12,000 square miles (31,000 km2) of territory. This took in the area about Farrars Creek near Connemara southwards to Beetoota, Haddon Corner, and Morney Plains. Their eastern extension went to the Beal range while the western frontier was around Durrie and Monkira on the Diamantina River.[1]

History of contact

The Karuwali have been cited as an Australian instance of the practice of colonial genocide.[2]
