Terra nullius is a Latin expression deriving from Roman Law meaning "no man's land", i.e. "empty land", applying to real estate, in terms of private ownership under public law.
The term refers to a 17th century legal fiction that permitted European colonial powers to assume control of land that was unclaimed (at least by each other).
Hope this helps.

Terra nullius is a Latin expression meaning "empty land" or "no man's land". The term refers to a 17th century doctrine that described land that was unclaimed by a sovereign recognised by European authorities and land that was not owned at all.

I suspect that you mean Terra Nullahs
Terra means: earth; land
And;
Nullahs means: A ravine or gully, especially in southern Asia.

Empty Land, i.e. not occupied.
That's what the English called Australia when they first found it even though it was occupied by the Aboriginal people.
