Ngarbal

Ngarbal country lies on the northern New England tablelands, west of the line between Glen Innes and Tenterfield. Ngarabal people are associated with the Beardy River and the surrounding high country. Near Inverell, watercourses cut through basalt and carry deposits containing sapphires, zircon and quartz. The creeks of the tableland feed the Gwydir and other inland rivers, while streams east of the divide descend towards the coast.
