Marrago

The Marrago were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland. They may have been a subgroup of the Mayi-Kutuna.

Country

Little is known of the details of the Marrago domain, which was in western Queensland, but Norman Tindale calculated, by default, that their tribal lands covered roughly 1,300 square miles (3,400 km²) around the area of the Alexandra River.
