Kabalbara (QLD)

Archive Collections / Language Groups / Kabalbara (QLD)

Location: West of Mackenzie and Isaac rivers to Peak Range; north nearly to Cotherstone. I formerly thought Howitt's term, when written as Jetimarala, might be the proper name; my tribal informant knew only Kabalbara which might appear to be one more applicable to a horde of a tribe; however, other information now suggests the Jetimarala tribe was a separate one related to the Barada, and living on the Broad Sound Ranges and it has been so treated.
