Wiri people

The Wiri were an Aboriginal Australian people of the state of Queensland.

Country

The Wiri's tribal lands spread over some 2,000 square miles (5,200 km²) from the Coast Range east of the coastal area around Mackay and running inland as far as Nebo and the headwaters of the Bowen and Suttor rivers. They took in both the Connor and Denham ranges. Wiri territory was basically rainscrub, with drier country on its western flank.[1]

gollark: "Ah yes, I will voluntarily ask for less pay" - nobody?

gollark: Seems more like a publicity stunt than anything useful.

gollark: As far as I'm aware, it has not been remotely rigorously tested and has only gone through two months of human trials.

gollark: … maybe? Even if they have a working, safe and effective vaccine, which seems somewhat dubious given that there are still lots of trials going on here, it'll still take a while for production and distribution.

gollark: I feel like assuming it'll be resolved soon is overoptimistic.
