In
Norman Tindale's calculations, the Yarluyandi had some 18,000 square kilometres (6,900 sq mi) 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,[1] while their eastern extension went as far as
Birdsville and the
Diamantina River.[2]
Native title
The Yarluyandi now form an aggregate with the
Wangkangurru people, and are represented by the Wangkangurru Yarluyandi Aboriginal Corporation.[3] Their
native title over a large area of the
Simpson Desert was recognised in 2014.[4]
