Location South bank of Barwon and Darling rivers from
Brewarrina to Dunlop; on Yanda Creek; south to head of Mulga Creek; on
Bogan River. Mathews implies that the southern boundary was a little
farther south than as given to me in 1938. These were the people who
possessed the famous fish traps in the Darling River at Brewarrina. The
name of this tribe should not be confused with the language name of the
Weilwan, which is Ngiumba.
Co-ordinates 146°5'E x 30°30'S
Area 6,600 sq. m. (17,200 sq. km)
Alternative Names Ngeumba, Negunbah, Ngiamba,
Ngaiamba, Gai-amba, Nyamba, Ugumba (typographical error).
