What Mob Is That?

Bayali


The AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia places the Bayali (alternatively Biyali, Baiali, Byelle, Byellee, Orambul, and Urambal) on the Central Queensland coast, around Rockhampton and Gladstone. Norman Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia places them on approximately 3,800 square kilometres around the mouth of the Fitzroy River, Keppel Bay, and Curtis Island, extending south to Gladstone and the Calliope River, and inland to Mount Morgan.

They spoke an extinct Pama–Nyungan language that is being revived through the Central Queensland Language Centre, the Priority Languages Support Project, First Languages Australia, and the Department of Communications and the Arts.
