Country

Norman Tindale estimated Wadjabangai lands at 3,200 square miles (8,300 km²) of sandy plains with ample tree stands. He arrived at this figure by exclusion from the known range of contiguous tribal territories whose domain borders are better known. The Wadjabangai lived in the area south of Lancevale, including Maryvale and as far as Blackall.^[2][3]
