The Ngurlu, also known as the Ngulutjara[1] or Ngurlutjarra, are an Aboriginal Australian people of Western Australia.

Country

The Ngurlu lands, according to Tindale, extended over roughly 5,000 square miles (13,000 km2) from Menzies to Malcolm. Their northwestern frontier ran to Mount Ida. Their eastern limits were around Lake Raeside and Yerilla, and the ephemeral salt lake known as Lake Ballard.[2] The Ngurlu moved about over mugla scrublands as far south as where their natural boundary with the Maduwongga began, as the mulga yields way to mallee eucalypt country, with its salmon gum bushland.[3]

History

As colonial intrusions advanced into the general area, whether from gold miners or people who took up large pastoral leases, considerable pressure was put on all groups, and the westward movement of the Waljen and Nangatadjara overwhelmed the Ngurlu.[4]
