Ils furent les Wirangu, les Barngala et les Kokatha peuples. Dépossédé et dispersé au fin du 19ème siècle, aujourd'hui ils continuent à vivre sur leur pays traditionnel et à pratiquer leur culture, langage et traditions. Pour ceux qui pourraient voyager dans le grand intérieur, il y a d'abondance de broussailles de mulga, les dunes de sable rouges, le spinifex, le saltbush et l'amarante à voir et le lézard mort occasionnel.
Wirraminna Station - near Lake Gairdner Wirraminna, a 405,000-hectare sheep and cattle station is located 520km north of Adelaide, between Port Augusta and Coober Pedy. It is situated between the magnificent Lake Hart and Lake Gairdner salt lakes. The name, Wirraminna is believed to derive from the local Aboriginal description of 'gum tree water'. Lake Gairdner's history of indigenous occupation centres around three Aboriginal groups; the Wirangu, the Barngala and the Kokatha people. Dispossessed and dispersed in the late 1800s, today they continue to live on their traditional country and practice their culture, language and traditions. For those who might travel in the great Outback, there is plenty of Mulga scrub, red sand dunes, spinifex, saltbush and tumbleweed to be seen and the occasional dead lizard.
