The Djerimanga, also known as the Wulna, are an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory.
Country[]
Djerimanga country consisted of some 1,200 square miles (3,100 km2) on the coastal plain where the Adelaide River debouches into the Timor Sea, north to the tip of Cape Hotham, west to Fogg Dam, south to an area including the community at Acacia Larrakia and eastwards as far as the Mary River floodplains. Humpty Doo Station, and Djukbinj National Park are also situated within these traditional boundaries. Historically, the Djerimanga had a southern inland extension of their land as far as the Margaret River and the Ringwood Range, but lost it to the eastern Djowei.[1]
