The Karanja (Karanya) were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland.
The Karanja, a people of the Channel Country, are estimated by Norman Tindale to have had tribal lands extending over approximately 2,400 square miles (6,200 km2), taking in Bedourie, the Georgina River and King Creek, and reaching south to Cluny and Glengyle. Their western boundaries were around Moorabulla (Mount David). [1]
When whites first began to settle the area in 1876, the Karanja were calculated to be around 250 people. Within a seven years, this figure dropped to 180, with settlers claiming that the reduction was caused by consumption and venereal disease. [2]
The Karanja, other than what they could gather from hunting local game, relied on a bread cake made from nardoo seeds as a staple. [2]
