Country

The Muluridji had an estimated (Norman Tindale)1,100 square miles (2,800 km2) of territory, starting from the headwaters of the Mitchell River northwards as far as Mount Carbine. The eastern frontier ran to Rumula, while their southern boundary was on the Atherton Tableland at Mareeba. Their western limit was 'Woodville', mainly in the drier country west of the rainforest margin between Biboohra and Mount Molloy.[1]
