Les Butchullas, également appelés Butchella, Badjala, Badjula, Badjela, Bajellah, Badtjala et Budjilla, sont des aborigènes australiens présents sur l'île Fraser, ainsi que dans une petite partie de l'actuel sud de l'État du Queensland.

Territoire modifier

Le territoireLes Butchullas appellent leur terrioire K'Qari (le paradis), un espace d'environ 4 400 km² correspondant au centre de l'île Fraser, les esaux l'etourant, et une partie de l'actuel Queensland.


Butchulla lands were concentrated in the centre of the island of K'gari (a name which refers to the former Fraser Island as well as surrounding waters and parts of the nearby mainland), and extended over 1,700 square miles (4,400 km2) to the coastal mainland (Cooloola) south of Noosa. The Butchulla route to the mainland ran through the lower waters of the Tinana Creek and their territory ran north to Pialba in Hervey Bay, and their borders to the west ran parallel to the upper Mary River. To the southwest of their mainland territory were the Gubbi Gubbi, with the territories of the Butchulla, Gubbi Gubbi and Dulingbara sometimes marked as meeting at Mount Bauple.

Some two decades after the arrival of Europeans, the original population of K'gari was estimated to be in the range of approximately 2,000 people, according to Archibald Meston, a figure which, if true, would mean that the ecology was sufficiently rich in food resources to sustain one of the densest pre-contact populations of the Australian continent, paralleling only the Kaiadilt of Bentinck Island.
