Warruŋu/Warungu
Although they do not appear on the AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia and Norman Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia places them wrongly — on the Burdekin River's headwaters, stretching south towards Charters Towers — the AIATSIS database places the rainforest Warruŋu (alternatively, Warungu or Warrongo) in an oblong-shaped territory that encompassed the Burdekin's headwaters and extended southeast along the Herbert River towards Abergowrie, stretching north to Mount Garnet and Innot Hot Springs towards, but not quite reaching, Ravenshoe. Kirrama lay close to their eastern boundary, with Wairuna, Glenharding, and Meadowbank on the southwestern boundary. The Great Dividing Range formed their western border.Their language (AITSIS Y133) has been classified as a member of the Upper Burdekin group of Pama-Maric languages, along with Gugu-Badhun Y128 and Gudjal E60.
