Beilba (c.1825 – March 1866), sometimes referred to as Beilbah or Bielbah, was an Indigenous Australian resistance fighter from the Expedition Range area of what is now known as Queensland.
Not much is known about Beilba's upbringing, but it is believed that he was a member of either the Kongabula or Yiman people of the upper Dawson River region of central Queensland.
In October 1857, the Yiman, with the assistance of Beilba, several former Native Police troopers and an Aboriginal servant from the Hornet Bank household named Baulie, decided to take revenge on the Frasers.
[2][3][4] Beilba survived for another six years, appearing to be protected and receiving food hand-outs from Aboriginal workers on properties around the Condamine River.
[3] In March 1866, Beilba's luck ran out and he was captured and shot dead in the Maranoa Region by the Native Police detachment led by sub-inspector James M.
