Yuru
According to Norman Tindale's estimate, the Juru people (a.k.a. Yuru, Euronbba) occupied around 3,100 square kilometres around Upstart Bay between Bowen and the Burdekin River's southern bank. Their territory extended inland to the Bogie Range and as far south as Mount Pleasant and Mount Abbot.
Their neighbours to the north were the Bindal, while their southern neighbours spoke Giya and Biri, with Gudjal and Yilba to the west.
Successful native title claims over areas between Ayr and Bowen in 2010 and 2015 resulted in a dispute between the claimants and the owners of one hundred and thirty fishing huts around the Elliot River mouth and Curlewis.
