Wathaurong

Wathaurong

Wathaurong, Indigenous Australian tribe living in the area near Melbourne, Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula. Part of the Kulin alliance. The Wathaurong language was spoken by 15 clans south of the Werribee River and the Bellarine Peninsula to Streatham. They were sometimes referred to by Europeans as the Barrabool people. The escaped convict, William Buckley, lived with this community for 32 years, between 1803 and 1835, before making contact with John Batman's expedition on 6 July 1835.
