1. Humpy: Humpies were a type of temporary shelter made from sheets of bark, rushes, or other local materials attached to a framework of branches. They could be cone-shaped, domed, or lean-to in design.
2. Wurley: Wurlies were more permanent dwellings, typically made by layering bark or other material over an arched framework of branches. They had a dome-shaped roof and could be partially covered with soil for improved insulation.
3. Gunyah: Gunyahs were structures made from branches, bark, leaves, or reeds placed over a framework of tree branches or saplings. They were usually oval or rectangular in shape and had an entrance opening.
4. Mimi House: Mimi houses were small rock shelters or caves found in parts of Western Australia. They were used as temporary dwellings or storage areas.
5. Ngurra/Camp: This referred to a specific location or place where Aboriginal people lived. It could include various structures, such as humpies or other shelters, as well as campfires and other living arrangements.
6. Bough Sheds: These were basic shelters made by placing branches or boughs of trees against each other to create a windbreak.
It's important to note that aboriginal housing was not homogenous across the continent and varied significantly based on the particular tribal group and their cultural traditions.
