Description

Goonoonoorrang (Ord River) is the traditional homelands of the Miriuwung Gajerrong people whose name for the big river was Goonoonoorrang, which Miriwoong men David Newry and Murphy Simon think was anglicised to Kununurra. The Miriwoong people traditionally lived in the upper reaches of Goonoonoorrang and the Gajerrong lived in the lower reaches. An estimated 30,000 Aboriginal people lived around there before European colonisation.
