I'd be really interested to read more about this tribe, after reading the news today, but can find very little about them online... Frankie Roberto 21:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

What the hell, how is this garbage still on Wikipedia? The author obviously has issues, this shit needs to be deleted or modified ASAP.
Githabul is not an erroneous transcription of Giabal. The anthropologist Winterbotham erroneously records the name Gitabal for the Giabal. The Giabal people are from near the Toomwoomba area, North of Allora, while the Gidabal are south of Allora, over the border to Woodenbong. The Giabal were a Waka-Kabic speaking people.

Githabul is the preferred modern spelling used by the people. Your Giabal information will need to be removed. BlackfullaLinguist ( talk) 07:33, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
Quite early on in European contact times there is evidence of some identification of groups with places which only got onto the map after European settlement, e.g. town names such as Rathdowney, Boonah, Beaudesert, Casino and Kyogle. Particularly under Queensland policy many Bundjalung people were shifted from their ancestral territories. Those who were not moved to reserves much further north soon appeared to identify themselves by a town which was developed in their territory, which may or may not have been on the land their family had most close associations with. We therefore cannot take at face value statements on territories of different ‘tribes’. Generally statements which use the term ‘clan’ or ‘horde’ are less subject to misreading. We can assume that statements which describe the territory of the Gidabal as extending as far as Allora, and others which assign the western region to another group (Geinyon according to Woodenbong Gidabal people, who also claim it is a very different language) can be reconciled.1985 p.110
