Ngaun

The Ngaun were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland.

Country

Norman Tindale calculated that the Ngaun had a territorial estate extending over 9,700 square miles (25,000 km²). They were present at Iffley, and eastwards as far as the Gregory Range and Saxby Downs. Their southwestern limits were around Julia Creek, while their northern frontier pushed up to D Doravale, and what was formerly Maikulan land.[1]

History of contact

Before contact with whites, the Ngaun appear to have presses north to take over Maikulan territory. With the advent of western colonial settlement, a good number shifted towards the area of Conclurry. The remnant which survived the disruptions caused by the setting up of pastoral stations eventually settled around Taldora and Millungera.[1]
