Location: Warrnambool and Hopkins River east to about Princetown on the coast; inland to Lake Bolac and Darlington; east to beyond Camperdown. There are names of twelve hordes speaking slight dialects. According to Cary, the original name was Manmait but this name is of hordal style; one horde, the Dantgurt, became of more importance than the others after white settlement. Other hordes apparently included the Colongulac, Jarcoort, Elingamait, Barrath, Warnambu:l (Pertobe), Bolaga, Tooram, Narragoort, and the Coonawanee.
