Humpy

A humpy, also known as a gunyah,[1][2][3][4] wurley, wurly, wurlie, mia-mia, or wiltija, is a small, temporary shelter, traditionally used by Australian Aboriginal people.

These impermanent dwellings, made of branches and bark, are sometimes called a lean-to, since they often rely on a standing tree for support.

In South Australia, such a shelter is known as a "wurley" (also spelled "wurlie"), possibly from the Kaurna language.

[8][9] They were temporary shelters made of bark, branches, leaves and grass used by Indigenous Australians.

[10] Both names were adopted by early white settlers, and now form part of the Australian lexicon.
