Country

Norman Tindale estimated their tribal lands as covering around 3,200 square miles (8,300 km2), centering on the headwaters of the Isaac River, and running west as far as the Denham Range. Their southern frontiers were around Cotherstone. They were also present around Grosvenor Downs.[1] The Wiri lay to their north, and their eastern flank bordered the western boundaries of the Barada.[2]
