Definition/Cultural Note

- location given as Little Scrub Hut, Hundred of Warrenben. (Egginton/Tindale)- awi comes from gawi water. Johnson suggests a literal meaning of quiet place. This does not match any words in Nharangga sources. It could be a description of the place, rather than a literal meaning of the word.
