Ngalia (Western Desert)


The Ngalea or Ngalia were an Aboriginal Australian people of the Western Desert cultural bloc resident in land extending from Western Australia to the west of South Australia. They are not to be confused with the Ngalia of the Northern Territory.

Country

The Ngalea lived around the salt lake areas, such as the Serpentine Lakes in the Great Victoria Desert, northwest of Ooldea, in what is now the Mamungari Conservation Park. Norman Tindale estimated their tribal lands as covering an extension of some.
