Yuwaalayaay (also known as
Yuwalyai, Euahlayi, Yuwaaliyaay, Gamilaraay, Kamilaroi, Yuwaaliyaayi) is an
Australian Aboriginal language spoken on Yuwaalayaay country. It is closely related to the
Gamilaraay and
Yuwaalaraay languages. The Yuwaalayaay language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the
Shire of Balonne, including the town of
Dirranbandi as well as the border town of Goodooga extending to
Walgett and the
Narran Lakes in New South Wales.'''' Goodooga is an Aboriginal word meaning, according to some "
yam". However it has been proposed that it derives from "guduu+ga", 'at the place of the
Murray cod' [guduu], rather than "gudugaa", a species of yam. Goodooga's newspaper is the
Goodooga Flash. == Sport ==
