Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English The Goreng Goreng, also known Kooreng Gooreng, are an inland Freshwater Australian Aboriginal people of Queensland, and also a language group. The Goreng Goreng area is between Central West Queensland in the north around Boyne Valley, extending westerly as far as the Great Dividing Range along the Dawes, Auburn, Nogo and Callide Ranges to meet the Wulli Wulli and Ghunghulu to their immediate west over the Great Dividing Range.
Language
Gurang Gurang is member of the Waka-Kabic subgroup of the Pama–Nyungan languages. The word gurang means "nought", and, replicated, was used as a marker for the people.Шаблон:Sfn Despite the tribe's relative proximity to Rockhampton, Gureng gureng language had strong affinities to languages to its south such as Wakka Wakka and Gubbi Gubbi, an affinity that was also cultural.Шаблон:Sfn
Country
The precise borders of traditional Gooreng Gooreng lands have been disputed. Walter Roth, while collecting data on their language in the later 19th century, placed them in Camboon Rawbelle where their main camp was at that time,Шаблон:Sfn Jiggings".Шаблон:Sfn Norman Tindale distinguished them from a Goeng Meerooni Coastal people (1770/Agnes) and defined their land as extending over Шаблон:Convert and embracing the eastern bank of the upper Burnett River from Mundubbera north to Callide Ranges Queensland and East to Mt Perry Ranges and Many Peaks.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It is possible that a confusion arose, taking two distinct dialect forms of the one cultural complex, to denote distinct and separate realities, with the Gureng Gureng taken to be an inland tribe, and the Goeng (Meerooni)Шаблон:Efn denoting their affines on the coast.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn A recent survey of the available evidence concludes that the Goreng goring's lands encompassed the "whole of Boyne Valley to Auburn NoGo Callide Cania RangesШаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn No Coastal Reef Dialect Language exists as Kooreng Gooreng Gooreng Gooreng are inland Freshwater People Their Totem is the Emu
Society and culture
The Gureng gureng were divided into several clans, such as the Wakgun. Traditional lore was transmitted at a djaparlagin or a "singing corroboree".Шаблон:Sfn
History of contact
The Upper Burnett area first began to be settled by colonists in the 1840s. Grazing land was not available further down the river for some decades. Hostilities broke out as land seized for grazing denied aboriginals access to their food resources, and clashes were frequent, leading to several massacres in the Miriam Vale area.Шаблон:Sfn It is estimated that between 1847 and 1853, 28 squatters and shepherds were killed as the Burdekin people resisted the onset of the occupation. On each occasion, punitive raids were undertaken to punish the tribes, causing substantial loss of life among the latter. The severity of retaliation was sufficiently drastic to lead the Colonial Office to place the Burnett area's Aboriginal people under official protection by the Native Mounted Police.Шаблон:Sfn
