See also: Ngolibardu language. The Ngolibardu, otherwise written Ngulipartu, were an Aboriginal Australian people of Western Australia.
Norman Tindale assigned the Ngolibardu a territorial domain of roughly 3300mi2. They were on the Rudall River, whose waters at Kalamilji were a final refuge in times of extreme drought. From the Rudall their land ran north as far as the Paterson Range. Their eastern frontier lay at Mount Broadhurst Range and Rooney Creek, while their western boundary was marked by the Throssell Range. These tribal lands were later taken over by the Kartudjara, moving up from the south, and the westward movement of the Nyangumarta to their north. On their western flank were the Wanman, and to their east lay the Nyamal.
Traditions hold that the Ngolibardu's numbers were diminishing even before the period of contact with white colonialists. Apparently, the tribe was struck by a devastating "fever" sometime around the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, which killed off large numbers of their community, to the point of virtual extinction.
