The Beriguruk were an indigenous Australian people, now thought to be extinct, of the Northern Territory.
Country
The Beriguruk used to inhabit the area southwards from the mouth of Mary River, mainly on its eastern bank, and running inland, but not frequenting the marshland and beaches of the coastal area, which were in the domain of the Djerimanga.[1] Beriguruk traditional lands extend over some 500 square miles (1,300 km2).
