Giabal

The Giabal ranged over some {{convert|7,300|km2|mi2}} of territory which lay between Allora and around Dalby. Their eastern extension ran close to Gatton, while their western frontier reached west to Millmerran.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=168}} According to Stephen Wurm and Suzanne Kite, the Giabal were the southernmost branch of the Baruŋgam.{{sfn|Kite|Wurm|2004|p=6}}

The first historical notice we have of them appear in an account written by William Ridley, a missionary who undertook a journey among the tribes of southern Queensland in 1855. He stated that the tribe whom he encountered in October of that year at Yandilla, spoke a language called 'Paiamba'.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=168}}

Ridley's entry is very brief:

Thence I came up the Weir, a tributary of the Macintyre; at four stations thereon, I met with forty blacks; all speak Pikumbul, and know something of Kamilaroi.From the head of the Weir, I again crossed the Downs by Yandilla,where I found nearly a dozen blacks who speak Paiamba, a dialect containing a few words like those of the Brisbane tribes, but which was for the most part quite strange to me.{{sfn|Ridley|1861|p=443}}
