Barwon River, a Perennial stream, perennial river that is part of the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the North West Slopes, north-west slopes and Orana, New South Wales, Orana regions of New South Wales, Australia. The name "barwon" is derived from the Australian Aboriginal languages, Australian Aboriginal words of ''barwum'' or ''bawon'', meaning great, wide, awful river of muddy water; and also ''baawan'', a Ngiyambaa language, Ngiyambaa name for both the Barwon and Darling rivers. The history, culture and livelihoods of the local Australian Aborigines, Aboriginal people are closely intertwined with the Barwon River and its associated tributaries and downstream flows.

Barkindji People
The Paakantyi, or Barkindji or Barkandji, are an Australian Aboriginal tribal group of the Darling River (known to them as the Baaka) basin in Far West New South Wales, Australia. Name The ethnonym Paakantyi means "River people", formed from ''paaka'' river and the suffix ''-ntyi'', meaning "belonging to", thus "belonging to the river". They refer to themselves as ''wimpatjas''. The name ''Paakantyi'' therefore simply means the River People. Language Traditionally they speak the Paakantyi language of the Pama–Nyungan family, and one of the three major Aboriginal languages for the people of present-day Broken Hill region. The major work on the Paakantyi language has been that of the late linguist Luise Hercus. Country The Paakantyi dwelt along the Darling River, from Wilcannia downstream almost to Avoca. Inland from either side of the Darling, their territory extended to a distance of roughly 20–30 miles. According to Norman Tindale, they inhabited an area of some . ...

Muruwari
The Muruwari, also spelt Murawari, Murawarri, Murrawarri and other variants, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the state of New South Wales and the southwestern area of Queensland. Language A monograph on and a dictionary of Muruwari have been published by Lynette Oates. Country The Muruwari lands stretch over some around Barringun, on the Queensland - New South Wales border, extending north as far as Mulga Downs and Weela in the former state. It includes Enngonia on the Warrego River; Brenda, and Weilmoringle on the Culgoa River, as well as Milroy, and south as far as the vicinity of Collerina. History of contact The explorer Thomas Mitchell, during his expedition to find a route to the Gulf of Carpentaria, surveyed the area of the Culgoa and Balonne Rivers in 1846, relying on a Wiradjuri guide and interpreter Yuranigh. At the same time, In 1845 his son Roderick Mitchell, who was Commissioner of Crown Lands, on hearing stockmen's reports of rich pasturage in the ar ...

Naualko
The Naualko (Nhaawuparlku) were an indigenous Australian people of New South Wales. Name The name Naualko derives from their word for 'yes'(''naua/nawa'' (so written by Norman Tindale). The word is now reconstructed as ''nhaawu'', and thus their endonym means 'the people who utter ''nhaawu'' when they say 'yes.' Language The Naualko language, which was spoken in the Wilcannia area, became extinct very early on as colonization began. Luise Hercus and others now consider that it is probably related more to Kurnu than to Paakantyi. It has recently been argued, though no certainty attaches to the hypothesis, that the language of the Milpulo was a dialect of Naualko. Country The Naulko moved over their tribal terrain's , in the far western sector of New South Wales, from Dunlop to Murtee on the upper Darling River. They were also around the lower Paroo River north to Lake Tongo. People It has been suggested that the Naualko might be classified as a northern branch of the Paakanty ...

Ngiyampaa
The Ngiyampaa, also known as the Ngemba, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the state of New South Wales. The generic name refers to an aggregation of three groups, the Ngiyampaa, the Ngiyampaa Wangaaypuwan, and the Ngiyampaa Weilwan, respectively clans of a larger Ngiyampaa nation. Language Their language consisted of varieties of Ngiyampaa, which was composed of two dialects, Ngiyambaa Wangaaybuwan and Wayilwan Ngiyambaa. The Wangaaypuwan (with ''wangaay'') people are so called because they use ''wangaay'' to say "no", as opposed to the Ngiyampaa in the Macquarie Marshes and towards Walgett, who were historically defined separately by colonial ethnographers as Weilwan, so-called because their word for "no" was ''wayil''. The distinction between Ngiyampaa, Wangaaypuwan/Wangaibon and Weilwan traditionally drawn, and sanctioned by the classification of Norman Tindale, may rest upon a flawed assumption of marked "tribal" differences based on Ngiyampaa linguistic discrimin ...

Hunter-gatherer
A traditional hunter-gatherer or forager is a human living an ancestrally derived lifestyle in which most or all food is obtained by foraging, that is, by gathering food from local sources, especially edible wild plants but also insects, fungi, honey, or anything safe to eat, and/or by hunting game (pursuing and/or trapping and killing wild animals, including catching fish), roughly as most animal omnivores do. Hunter-gatherer societies stand in contrast to the more sedentary agricultural societies, which rely mainly on cultivating crops and raising domesticated animals for food production, although the boundaries between the two ways of living are not completely distinct. Hunting and gathering was humanity's original and most enduring successful competitive adaptation in the natural world, occupying at least 90 percent of human history. Following the invention of agriculture, hunter-gatherers who did not change were displaced or conquered by farming or pastoralist groups in ...
