Country

The Geynyon, according to the estimation of Norman Tindale, had 1,400 square miles (3,600 km2) of territory. [1] They ranged from Stanthorpe just north of the border with New South Wales to around Hendon and Allora, which formed their northern limit. To the east, their lands extended as far as the Great Dividing Range. Their western frontier lay around Herries Range and beyond Thane, including Warwick and the area close to Leyburn. R. H. Mathews also claimed Inglewood was part of their territory, which Tindale did not accept. [1] In Margaret Sharpe's map of Bundjalung dialects, based on the work of Terry Crowley, the Logan River marked their eastern border with the Yugambeh, while their southern frontier with the Githabul lay just beyond Killarney.

The Darling Downs is a farming region on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range in southern Queensland, Australia. The Downs are to the west of South East Queensland and are one of the major regions of Queensland. The name was generally applied to an area approximating to that of the Condamine River catchment upstream of Condamine township but is now applied to a wider region comprising the Southern Downs, Western Downs, Toowoomba and Goondiwindi local authority areas. The name Darling Downs was given in 1827 by Allan Cunningham, the first European explorer to reach the area and recognises the then Governor of New South Wales, Ralph Darling.
