Yarluyandi

The Yarluyandi, also known as Jeljendi, are an indigenous Australian people of South Australia. The Yarluyandi language was closely related to Ngamini.

Country

In Tindale's calculations, the Yarluyandi had some 6,900 square miles (18,000 km2) of land within their tribal domain, taking in the Mulligan River south of Annandale to Alton Downs. Their western confines were in the vicinity of Atna Hill, while their eastern extension went as far as Birdsville and the Diamantina River.[1]
