Biri/ Biria/ Birri Gubba
Norman Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia places the Biria people (alternatively, Birigaba, Biriaba, Breeaba, Perenbba, Perembba, and possibly Biriyaba — reflecting a placename (Briaba) 17 kilometres north of Collinsville and 59 kilometres southwest of Bowen on the Bowen Development Road) on around 10,900 square kilometres of country on the Bowen River, extending north to the river's junction with the Burdekin, east to the Clarke Range, west to the Leichhardt Range and as far south as Netherdale. Tindale notes they are 'not to be confused with the Bidia (Biria) he places on the Thompson River in southwest Queensland.
The AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia labels them the Biri, placing Collinsville in the middle of their territory, with the Giya and Yuwi to their east, the Yuru to their north, the Gugu-Badhun to the northwest, the Yangga to their west, and the Barna and Baradha to their south.

They appear in Wikipedia as the Birri Gubba, formerly known as Biria, who spoke several dialects of the Biri language group.
