Ngawun
The AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia places the Ngawun people (alternatively, Ngaun, Ngaon, Nouun, Naungaun) northeast of Julia Creek, with the Mayi-Kulan as their northern neighboursthe Mbara to the east, the Wunumara to the siyth and the Mayi-Thakuri to the west.
Norman Tindale, Aboriginal Tribes of Australia labels them the Ngaun and locates them on 25,200 square kilometres of territory extending east to the Gregory Range and Saxby Downs, southwest to Julia Creek, including Taldora and Millungera. He placed their northern boundary to include a late precontact usurpation of Maikulan territory as far as Doravale, noted their (later postcontact) presence at Iffley and an earlier migration towards Cloncurry with the survivors are now centered around Millungera.
They spoke an extinct Myabic language — the last surviving speaker died in 1977 that was part of a dialect chain that included Mayi-Thakurti G16, Mayi-Kulan G25, Mayi-Yapi G20 and Wunumara G16.1.
