The Awinmul were an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory.
Country
[edit]The Awinmul1's traditional lands covered an estimated 1,800 square miles (4,700 km2) of land from Brocks Creek to the Edith River and the headwaters of the Mary and Fergusson rivers.[1]
History
[edit]A long and intense drought struck their region in the early 20th century, resulting in a drastic reduction of the Awinmul. The remnant of survivors were subsequently absorbed by the Wulwulam.[1]
Alternative names
[edit]- Awinnmull
- Awinmil[1]
