Wadulla/wadjella etc is used from Albany to Port Hedland. I was first called a wadulla in Roebourne in 1980. The tribal elder in Roebourne told me the translation was white fella. An elder in Pinjarra and one in Carnarvon also said the same translation. I was more often called a Monarch (spelling ?) Have a look up the dictionary for that one. Never heard it in a derogitory way, they have used Honky, but don't know the exact tranlation for that.
In their language there is one main word and others to express it. eg. Moodgie (spelling ??) is a Hole. Thumba (spelling) is uesed to describe it Thumba Moodgie is Arsehole which I was often called.
Can't remember a lot of the others. too long ago
By the way, bought some comfortable crocs in Target today $15.AUD.
We really got off the subject didn't we
