Country

In Norman Tindale's estimation, the Kuwarranyji's lands extended over some 7,500 square miles (19,000 km2), taking in the district of Daly Waters, reaching westwards to the vicinity of Illawarra Springs and Mount Wollaston. The southern quarter went as far south as Newcastle Waters on the Sturt Plateau. They lived north of the Tjingili.[2]
