Tindale says that some of the later terms had entered the literature, although not based on fieldwork and lacking Aboriginal support, as artificial, collective names for his "Great Tribes" of New South Wales. He writes that there was such a "literary need for major groupings that [Fraser] set out to provide them for New South Wales, coining entirely artificial terms for his 'Great tribes'. These were not based on field research and lacked aboriginal support. His names such as Yunggai, Wachigari and Yakkajari can be ignored as artifacts...During the 1890s the idea spread and soon there was a rash of such terms...Some of these have entered, unfortunately, into popular literature, despite their dubious origins."{{sfn|Tindale|Jones|1974|pp=156, 191, 200}}

He lists Wiradjuri (NSW) as one of these artificial names, along with Bangarang{{efn|R. H. Mathews' spelling}} ([[Pangerang]]) (Vic.); [[Booandik]] (Vic. & SA); Barkunjee ([[Barkindji]]) (NSW), [[Kurnai]] (Vic.), Thurrawal ([[Dharawal]]) (NSW), and Malegoondeet (?) (Vic.).{{sfn|Tindale|Jones|1974|pp=156, 191, 200}}{{sfn|Tindale|1974}} He also mentions [[Robert Hamilton Mathews|R. H. Mathews]], [[Alfred William Howitt|A. W. Howitt]] and [[John Mathew]] as promulgators of the "nations" concept. However, Tindale refers to Wiradjuri in his own work (p.&nbsp;200): "Wiradjuri 'Wiradjuri (Wi'raduri)".{{sfn|Tindale|1974|pp=156, 191, 200}}{{sfn|Tindale|1974}}

Wiradjuri territory was first penetrated by [[British Empire|British]] colonists in 1813.{{sfn|Langton|2010|p=32}} In 1822 [[George Suttor]] took up an extensive lot of land, later known as Brucedale Station, after Wiradjuri guides showed him an area with ample water sources. Suttor learnt their language, and befriended [[Windradyne|Windradyne, nicknamed "Saturday"]], and attributed conflict to the harshness of his own people's behaviour, since the Wiradjuri were in his view, fond of white people, as they would call them.{{sfn|Langton|2010|pp=35–36}} Clashes between the British settlers and the Wiradjuri however multiplied as the influx of colonist increased, and became known as the [[Bathurst War]]s. The occupation of their lands and their cultivation began to causecaused famine among the Wiradjuri, who had a different notion of what constituted property.{{efn|Suttor wrote: "These natives have some imperfect ideas of property, and the right of possession. They say all wild animals are theirs -– the tame or cultivated ones are ours. Whatever springs spontaneously from the earth or without labour is theirs also. Things produced by art and labour, are the white fellows' as they call us." {{harv|Langton|2010|p=37}}}} In the 1850s there were still [[corroboree]]s around [[Mudgee]], but there were fewer clashes.
