Ualarai
The Ualarai were an indigenous Australian people of New South Wales.
The name Ualarai comes from the word for 'yes' (u'al/wol/wal].
Ualarai was a Wiradhuric tongue It has been classified as a dialect (Yuwaalaraay)) of Gamilaraay by Robert M. W. Dixon. The Ualarai distinguished various kinds of Gamilaraay, telling Mrs K. Langloh Parker:
With us, Byamee the name is not derived from the verb to make-which is gimberleegoo; maker, gimberlah--this word is also used in the Kamilaroi tribes, some of which are within a hundred and fifty miles of us. But the Kamilaroi that Ridley knew are some three and four hundred miles away, so the language is sure to have variations; our Euahlayi language has only a few of the same words as the Kamilaroi.
The Ualarai tribal lands stretched over an estimated 4,600 square miles (12,000 km2). They were on the Narran River and lived from the Narran Wetlands (Terewah) through to Angledool neasr the Queensland border. They took in Walgett to the southeast. Running southwest, they extended from the Birrie and Bokhara rivers to Brewarrina. The western frontier lay between the; Culgoa and Birrie rivers.
Ualarai country was rather dry even over winter, which permitted a longer gathering and conservation of seeds as a food resource.
The Ualarai were organized in terms of matrilineal descent.
The were proto-agriculturalists, who exploited the grasslands of their area, harvesting foods for storage, a practice (called generically konakandi or 'dung food') also found among several other tribes such as the Iliaura and Wadjari. The surplus was stored (yarmmara, storage) in caves, enabling women to free up their time, since the existence of reserves relieved them of the need to gather in edible foodstuffs every day.
