In Norman Tindale's estimation, the Maikudunu 's tribal territories stretched over roughly 9,800 square kilometres (3,800 mi2), from Augustus Downs in the north to midway along the Leichardt River. Their southern extension lay around Mount Cuthbert. Their western limits ran to the eastern margin of the inland plateau.[1]
