Yuin People - Country

Country

All Yuin people share in common, ancestors who spoke as their first preferred language, one or more of the Yuin language dialects, including Djiringanj, Thaua, Walbanga, or Wandandian.

The country the Yuin ancestors occupied, used, and enjoyed reached across from Cape Howe to the Shoalhaven River and inland to the Great Dividing Range.

Two of the Yuin groups include:

  • Walbanga, north of present day, Narooma
  • Dyiringanj, or Djiringanj, from Narooma, south to Bega and west to the top of the range.
