Mutumui

The Mutumui were an Aboriginal people of northeastern Cape York. Their country has been described as including Bathurst Bay and Cape Melville, extending south toward Barrow Point and the Starcke and Jeannie rivers. Their language was recorded as Eibole, with related dialects spoken by neighbouring groups. Ethnographic accounts describe the Mutumui as living chiefly near the shore and making journeys into the sandstone interior to gather honey and hunt animals.
