Wudjari

The Wudjari were an indigenous people of the southern region of Western Australia.

The Wudjari's traditional lands are estimated to have extended over some 6,900 sq.miles, encompassing the southern coastal area from the Gairdner River eastwards, as far as Point Malcolm. The inland extension was to about 30 miles. Kent, Ravensthorpe, Fanny Cove, Esperance, and Cape Arid all have been developed over the old Wudjari lands.

There was a western/eastern divide among the Wudjari hordes. At the earliest point of contact with white explorers, it was noted that the western divisions were on the move, shifting towards Bremer Bay. The groups to the east of Fanny Cove and the Young River, on the other hand, had adopted circumcision as part of their tribal initiatory rites, a transformation that earned them the name of Bardonjunga/Bardok among those Wudjari who refused to absorb the practice. This customary scission, according to Norman Tindale, perhaps marked the inchoate genesis of a new tribal identity among the easterners, who had also adopted a differential ethnonym for themselves; Nyunga. These Wudjari Njunga contested the terrain between Mount Ragged and Israelite Bay with the Ngadjunmaia.
