The Nyuwathai were an indigenous Australian people of the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland.
Country
The extent of Nyuwathai lands has been estimated to encompass some 700 sq.miles, primarily around the Middle Wenlock river.[1]
By the time Ursula McConnel did her ethnographic surveys in the late 1920s and 30s, it appeared that the Nyuwathai gathered with the Atjinuri and Yinwum at the Moreton Telegraph Station. [2]
