Location Lower course of Nymboida River and across
the range toward Urunga, Coff (Korff) Harbour, and Bellingen; at South
Grafton and Glenreagh; along the coast south from near One Tree Point;
at Woolgoolga and Nambucca Heads. MacPherson's map is in error in
placing the tribe entirely away from the coast. Confusion arises
because Bellingen township is on the Bellinger River.
Co-ordinates 152°55'E x 30° 10'S
Area 2,300 sq. m. (6,000 sq. km)
