Nimanburru

The Nimanburu were an indigenous Australian people of Western Australia.

Traditional lands of Aboriginal tribes around Derby, WA

Language

The Nimanburu language was one of the Nyulnyulan languages. Their speech was described by other aboriginal informants as a 'heavy' dialect of the language spoken by the Warrwa.[1]

Country

Norman Tindale estimate Nimanburu tribal lands to extend over roughly 1,200 square miles (3,100 km2) from the King Sound coast, around Repulse Point southwards to the swamp plain where the Fraser River debouches into the sea. Their inland extension ran as far as the headwaters of that river.[1]

People

Despite being territorially a coastal people, the Nimanburu refrained from seafaring, and were not known to employ rafts as other contiguous groups in the Kinbg Sound did.[1]
