Girramay

The Girramay are an Australian Aboriginal tribe of northern Queensland.

The Girramay ethnonym is formed from jir:a, meaning "man".

[2] The Girramay people's traditional lands extend over some 1,000 square miles (2,600 km2) south from Rockingham Bay to Cardwell.

[1] Before European settlement, the Girramay lived in a mixture of rainforest and open forest environments.

[1] Girramay territory has trees with a variety of bark that could be beaten into a cloth to fashion a "rain shield" and neighbouring tribes such as the Dyirbal and Ngajanji therefore called this device a keramai, their pronunciation of the Girramay ethnonym.
