The Yetimarala, also written Jetimarala and Yetimarla and also known as Bayali, Darumbal, Yaamba and other names and variant spellings, were an Aboriginal Australian people of eastern Queensland.
Tindale then attributed to them a territorial domain of some 3,900 square kilometres (1,500 sq mi), located on the Boomer and Broad Sound ranges, running northwards from the Fitzroy River to within proximity of Killarney.
His bold curiosity stirred, he fashioned spears and dug out bolt holes in earth in case he needed to hide, determined to try and kill the fearful animals.
His efforts paid off, with him slaughtering the male snake after a hectic fight, while the female of the species sought refuge in the firmament, where she was transformed into a star.
But he allayed their anxieties by recounting his deeds of daring, and the tribe then partook of the remaining portions of the reptile's flesh, establishing thereby the custom of regarding snakes as a food source.
[5] Geoffrey O'Grady also assigned the name Yettimaralla to the Gabulbarra people, whose language is unknown but thought by Gavan Breen to be a dialect of Biri.
