Traditional lands of Australian aboriginals tribes around Gladstone.

The Barna are an Australian aboriginal tribe of northern Queensland.

Language

Their traditional language is believed to be one of the Biri dialects.

Country

Norman Tindale estimated their tribal lands as covering around 3,200 square miles (8,300 km2), centering on the headwaters of the Isaac River, and running west as far as the Denham Range. Their southern frontiers were around Cotherstone. They were also present around Grosvenor Downs.[1] The Wiri lay to their north, and their eastern flank bordered the western boundaries of the Barada.[2]

Native Title

In July 2016 Justice John Dowsett of the Federal Court of Australia granted an application for native title determination made on behalf of the Barna people.[3]

The decision covered approximately 3233 square kilometres of land and waters south-west of Mackay and north-west of Rockhampton in the Bowen Basin.[4]

As part of the determination process the Barada Barna Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC was nominated, and became, the Native Title Prescribed Body Corporate to hold and manage (as trustee) or manage (as agent) their native title rights and interests.[5]
