Thaua: From Merimbula south to Green Cape; west to the scrap of the Dividing Range. Their hordes were divided into two groups, the ('Katungal) sea coast people', and the ('Baianbal) or ('Paienbara), the tomahawk people,' those who lived in the forests; a third group, the Bermerigal or mountain people at Cooma belonged to the Ngarigo with whom the inland Thaua had some associations. An early writer whose reference I have lost described the Twofold Bay people, whom he called Nulliker, as diminutive in stature as compared with inland aborigines. They folded bark canoes and ventured out to sea. Their huts were trigonal bark shelters (Tindale 1974, pp.198-99).
