Yupangathi

Yupangathi is associated with the Yuupngati, also recorded as Jupangati, an Aboriginal people of western Cape York Peninsula. Ethnographic accounts place their country south of the Wenlock River, along the Gulf of Carpentaria coast and around the Pennefather River.

Coastal waters, rivers, woodland and seasonal wetlands supported varied activities across this wider region. Knowledge of particular places and seasons guided fishing, hunting, gathering and movement, while kinship and responsibilities to Country linked people with their homelands.
