Willshire, placing them to the west of that ephemeral watercourse.{{sfn|Willshire|1896|p=85}} Tindale adds that they inhabited the area of the Upper Victoria River, about Jasper Creek, and to the west of the Victoria River Downs, and places their southern boundary at ''Munjun'' (Mount Sanford). Their western frontier lay at Limbunya.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=234}}
