Wakara
While they do not appear on the AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia under that name, Norman Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia places the Wakara (alternatively, Wakura, Wakoora, Koko-wogura, Kookoowarra — according to R. H. Mathews, "bad speakers") on 260 square kilometres along the upper Mitchell River's southern bank, extending eastwards as far as Mount Mulligan, with their western frontiers around Wrotham Park and Blackdown.
The AIATSIS AustLang Project databasehas Kuku Wakura (Y104), who spoke a dialect of Kuku Yalanji in the same location.
Prospectors and miners moving into the region after 1875 who identified the Wakara as the area's predominant group also noted the presence of the Wunjurika — possibly an autonomous group or a Wakara horde — west of Mount Mulligan. However, by 1890, the Wunjurika had been absorbed into the Wakara, losing whatever independent identity they may have had, as "frequent encounters with the Native Police and the settlers, as well as by diseases introduced by the Whites", drastically reduced the numbers in both groups.
