The Ngulingbara's status as an independent tribe has been contested, since some authorities consider them to have been a horde of the Butchulla, since the -bara suffix in their ethnonym is suggestive of a clan grouping. They occupied a sector of Fraser Island north of Boomerang Hill and, in Norman Tindale's estimate, inhabited an area of some 200 square miles (520 km2). [1]
