Wirangu people

The Wirangu are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Western coastal region of South Australia.

Daisy Bates stated that the Wirangu ethnonym was composed of two words: wira (cloud) and wonga (speech).

[2] In Norman Tindale's estimation, the Wirangu were assigned an original tribal land extending over 21,500 square miles (56,000 km2), embracing the coastal area between Head of Bight, Cape Blanche and Streaky Bay, with an inland extension running north to places like Ooldea, Kokatha, and Kondoolka.

The snake, however, managed to crawl on a little distance (about two miles) to the south to an ochre pan, named Mul'tan'tu.

[5]Already on the eve of contact with whites, the Wirangu were being pressured out of part of their traditional territory by the movements of the Kokata.
