To the east, Queensland is bordered by the Coral Sea and Pacific Ocean. To its north is the Torres Strait, with Papua New Guinea located less than 200 km across it from the mainland.

Country

In Norman Tindale's estimation the Karendala had tribal lands of some 3,000 square miles (7,800 km2). These covered areas like Cooper Creek, and Durham Downs, and their northern limits lay around Mount Howitt. Their eastern frontier was at Plevna Downs, the McGregor Range, and in the vicinity of Eromanga. [1]

Cooper Creek river

The Cooper Creek is one of the most famous rivers in Australia because it was the site of the death of the explorers Burke and Wills in 1861. It is sometimes known as the Barcoo River from one of its tributaries and is one of three major Queensland river systems that flow into the Lake Eyre basin. The flow of the creek depends on monsoonal rains falling months earlier and many hundreds of kilometres away in eastern Queensland. At 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) in length it is the second longest inland river system in Australia after the Murray-Darling system.
