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: I also added a small note to https://wiki.computercraft.cc/Gps.locate about the results not always being reliable, since GPS is kind of vulnerable to spoofing.
    gollark: It's more of a general guide-type thing explaining how to set up GPS hosts than information on how to use `gps host` itself.
    gollark: Er, libraries.
