Warluwarrai

The Warluwarrai, known in the records as Waluwara or Walugara, are an Aboriginal people of the Georgina River country in western Queensland, taking their name from their Warluwarra language, a member of the Ngarna or Warluwaric branch of Pama-Nyungan. Norman Tindale assigned them about 18,000 square kilometres along the Georgina, from Roxborough Downs north to Carandotta and Urandangi and south-west to Pituri Creek.

They were formed of several hordes, among them the Didjadidja at Roxborough, the Kapula at Carandotta and the Panggara on Moonah Creek. Their initiation life centred on the Miki ceremony, whose rites included subincision. Variant names include Walukara, Warluwara and Paringgara, meaning creek dwellers.
