The Awarai (Warray) are an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory.
The Norwegian explorer Knut Dahl wrote down a short list of vocabulary of the Awarai language.
The Awarai tribal lands took in some 1,400 square miles (3,600 km2) of territory, between Mount Shoebridge and the Central Tableland. [1] Their northern boundary was 46 miles south of Darwin, [a] on the Darwin River near the Adelaide–Darwin railway line and 10 miles north of Rum Jungle. The southern limits were at Brocks Creek, where their border met that of the Awinmul. [2]
The Warai had arrangements to supply the Wogait with women for marriage. [3]
According to Norman Tindale, they stood in fear of the Agigondin horde of the Wulwulam, which however incorporated them eventually as a subtribe. [2]
