Birri Gubba

Not to be confused with with Bidia people, another ethnic group of Queensland sometimes also known as Biria.

The Birri Gubba people, formerly known as Biria, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the state of Queensland.

Language

Main article: Biri language

The Birri Gubba people spoke a number of languages in the Biri language group.[1]

Country

The Biria held sway over some 4,200 square miles (11,000 km2), from the Bowen River north to its junction with the Burdekin. On its eastern flank was the Clarke Range, while its western borders reached the Leichhardt Range. To the south, its territory extended down to Netherdale.[2]

Alternative names

Alternative names for the Biria people include Biriaba, Birigaba, Breeaba, Perembba, Perenbba,[3] and Birri Gubba.[4][5]

European contact

In 1846, after their ship Peruvian was wrecked, a group of British crew members made it to shore on Birri Gubba land, and were helped to survive by Birri Gubba people. The castaways stayed with various groups for some time, with one, James Morrill, living among the Aboriginal people for around 17 years.[5] His memoir, Sketch of a Residence Among the Aboriginals of Northern Queensland for Seventeen Years tells of his efforts to leave his group of Birra Gubba people on their land, and to encourage harmonious living between the two groups.[6] Today he is seen as an early pioneer of Indigenous land rights in Australia.[5]

A forthcoming (2022) film, The Wild One starring Matt Oxley, John Jarratt and Marlena Law, is based on the story of Morrill and the people who took him in, directed by Australian filmmaker Nathan Colquhoun.[5]
