Noongar language groups

Ballardong are an indigenous Noongar people of the south western area of Western Australia.

Country[edit]

The Ballardong's land encompasses an estimated 10,500 square miles (27,000 km2). Northwards they occupy the Avon River. From the east of York they extend to Tammin, Kununoppin, Waddouring Hill, Bencubbin, Toodyay, Goomalling, and the Wongan Hills. On their southern flank lays Pingelly and Wickepin. Their western frontier is at the Darling Scarp.[1]

Economy[edit]

The Ballardong engaged in mining, quarrying stones to be shaped and sharpened for knives and multibarbed spears at Kalannie Boyangoora, Booyungur.
