The Wiri are an Aboriginal Australian people of an area on the eastern side of the state of Queensland. They speak a dialect of the Biri language called Wiri (also known as Widi).
Country
The Wiri's tribal lands spread over some 5,200 square kilometres (2,000 sq mi) from the Coast Range east of the coastal area around Mackay and running inland as far as Nebo and the headwaters of the Bowen and Suttor rivers. They took in both the Connor and Denham ranges. Wiri territory is basically rainscrub, with drier country on its western flank.[1]
Since 2019, the Wiri hold native title of lands west of Mackey.
