Kukatj
The Kukatj were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland. They are to be distinguished from the Kukatja, either the Northern Territory Loritja or the Western Australian Gugadja.
Country
In Norman Tindale's estimation, the Kukatja held about 2,200 square miles (5,700 km2) of tribal land. Their eastward extension, from Inverleigh reached the Flinders River, and running northwards from the area of the Donor Hills up to the Gulf of Carpentaria.[1]
Alternative names
