Wulgurukaba
According to Norman Tindale, the Wulgurukaba ("canoe people"; a.k.a. Manbarra) occupied around 2600 square kilometres of country around Townsville, including Magnetic Island, the Palm Islands, extending east to Cape Cleveland. Along with that spoken by the Nyawaygi, their language is classified as part of the Nyawaygic branch of the Pama–Nyungan family.
The Wulgurukaba creation story describes a carpet snake slithering down the coastal range to form the Herbert River and create the Hinchinbrook Channel. After his body broke up, leaving parts along the coast, with Palm Island as his back and his head resting at Arcadia on Magnetic Island.
