Mudbarran

The Mudburra, also spelt Mudbara, are an Aboriginal Australian people whose arid country straddled the eastern Victoria River District, the western Barkly Region and the southern Sturt Plateau. Their tongue is an eastern Ngumbin language of the Pama-Nyungan family, divided into Eastern Mudburra and Western Mudburra dialects; the mixing of Mudburra and Jingili people produced the Kuwarrangu cultural group.

Before European arrival they moved seasonally over long distances in search of food and water, camping in nanji, lancewood-bark shelters that housed up to six people. European explorers entered their country in the mid-nineteenth century, and the cattle stations founded afterwards drove them from much of their land.
