According to
Norman Tindale, the Kwatkwat's tribal territories cover roughly 1,800 square miles (4,700 km2), running along the southern bank of the
Murray River, in a stretch of land that ran from just above the
Goulburn River junction southwards around Indigo Creek at
Barnawartha. The strip included the junction of the
King and
Ovens rivers.[2]
^'We do not think that much reliance can be placed on Tindale's classification in this area.'[1]
^This identification has been challenged on the grounds that the available evidence suggests the reported 'Emu Mudjug' tribe spoke a different language from the variety of
Yorta Yorta believed to be spoken by the Kwakkwat, and they appear to have spoken a version of
Wiradjuri.[3]
