Awinmul

See also: Awinmul language

The Awinmul were an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory.

Country

The Awinmul's traditional lands covered an estimated 1,800 square miles (4,700 km²) of land from Brocks Creek to the Edith River and the headwaters of the Mary and Fergusson Rivers.

History

A long and intense drought struck their region in the early 20th century, resulting in a drastic reduction of the Awinmul. The remnant of survivors were subsequently absorbed by the Wulwulam.
