Tindale's range estimates
The only information on the Mandjindja's country are estimates given by Norman Tindale. Tindale's estimates (particularly for the peoples of the Western desert) are not considered to be accurate.
Tindale estimated that the Mandjindja's territory extended over roughly 21,000 square miles (54,000 km2), in the sandhill terrain south of the Warburton Range, from a place called Papakula ("Babbagoola Rockhole" on maps). Their western extension went as far as the Gillen and Throssell lakes. Their southern boundaries lay around Amy Rocks and the Saunders Range. Their eastern confines lay around a place named Lenga:na, identified as possibly east of the Sydney Yeo Chasm.
