Buruna (WA)
|
| | Location | On Yannarie River (Pindar Creek) above the edge of the coastal plain; southwest to Winning Pool and the north side of Lyndon River; east to Mount Hamlet and Maroonah; survivors now on Towera Station. They sometimes visited eastward to the Henry River but this was really Tenma territory. Some aborigines pronounce the name with an interdental d sound as ['Budna], but a group preferred ['Buruna] (tape records confirm this). Color plate 31 is relevant. |
