The Yinhawangka are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Country

The Inawongga, in Norman Tindale's estimation, has about 3,600 square miles (9,300 km²) of tribal territory, living in the area around the Hardey River and as far south as Rocklea. Their southeastern extension runs along the upper Ashburton River from Turee Creek to the Angelo River, and north of Mount Vernon Station.^[1]

Running clockwise from due north, their neighbours are the Kurrama to their northwest, the Panyjima north-northeast, the Mandara due east, the Ngarlawongga to their southeast, the Ninanu directly south and the Tjururo on their western flank.^[2]
