## Country

In Norman Tindale's estimation the Dyiwali's lands extended over 1,700 square miles (4,400 $km^2),$ taking in the headwaters of Henry and Yannarie rivers, and running southeast from Mt Hamlet and Mt Florry as far as the Lyons River. Their northeastern reaches touched only as far as the Ashburton River divide.
