Nonga

Nonga lies in the country of southern Australia's Eyre Peninsula. The Nauo, also known as Nawu, are an Aboriginal people of the southwestern peninsula, whose country included coastal and inland areas. Their neighbours included Wirangu and Barngarla peoples, each with their own ties to country.

Before the formal British colonisation of South Australia in 1836, whalers and sealers operating along the southern coast raided Nauo communities. These encounters brought violence before colonial settlement expanded across the peninsula.
