Location: Vicinity of Croydon. A tribe that was displaced very early by development of mining at Croydon. They were apparently related to the Maikulan on whose northern bounds they held a poorly defined territory. West (pers. comm.) had information on the Balgalu in the Gregory Ranges. These are probably the same people.
