NGARIGO ARE THE ABORIGINE WHO LIVE IN SOUTHEAST OF THE CANBERRA. IN 1974 A CATALOGUE OF AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES INCLUDED THEIR LANDS IN MONARO NORTH OF QUEENSBAY AND THE AUSTRALIAN ALPS. THEIR NAME MEANS HOSTILE PEOPLE. IN WINTER THEY MOVE TO LOWER ELEVATION FROM THE MOUNTAINS. HENCE THEY ARE CALLED AGGRESSIVE. SO THEY HAVE TWO GROUPS - A GROUP IN THE TABLELANDS AND ONE IN THE HIGH COUNTRY. THESE PEOPLE SPEAK NGARIGU LANGUAGE AND A SOUTHERN DIALECT.
