Naranggan

The Naranggan, or Narungga, were the nomadic people of the Yorke Peninsula, which they called Guuranda, between Gulf St Vincent and Spencer Gulf in South Australia. In 1337 four clans, the Kurnara of the north, Dilpa of the south, Wari of the west and Windarra of the east, shared the peninsula and spoke Narungga, a Thura-Yura language of the Pama-Nyungan family.

They burnt the scrub in controlled fires to flush game and renew vegetation, and drew much of their living from the sea: a swimmer would tow a roasted fish out beyond the breakers and back to lure snapper shoals into the long nets waiting on the sand.

Later settlers bought their fish for tobacco and trade goods. Sealers had begun visiting their coasts before the founding of Adelaide in 1836, which first drew the colonial frontier toward the peninsula.
