Wanamara

The Wanamara (Wunumara) were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland.

Country

The Wanamara's tribal olands extended over, in Norman Tindale's calculations, some 13,000 square miles (34,000 km2) from the headwaters of the Flinders River, eastwards as far as Richmond. Their western frontier was at the Williams River near Cloncurry. Their southern limits were at the Great Dividing Range and to Kynuna. They ranged north as far as Cambridge Downs and Dalgonally.[1]

    gollark: Then the rules shall be editatteed.
    gollark: Probably not, just add a rule talking about how the existing processing rules map to batch tasks.
    gollark: What? No, probably not, you would just wait 150 minutes.
    gollark: I mean more like being able to queue up batch operations on furnaces/mines or something, so you can say "process 10 clay into 10 brick" and your stuff will be busy for 150 minutes.
    gollark: Hmm, perhaps. Maybe a thing where you can queue a bunch of actions to run in a batch?
