Location: Headwaters of Clarence, Richmond, and Logan rivers on main Dividing Range; Killamey to Urbenville, Woodenbong, Unumgar, and Tooloom; at Rathdowney and about Spicer Gap, Qld.; south to near Tabulam and Drake. On the 1940 map the boundary was incorrectly shown. According to some information, it may be a dominant horde of the Jukambe, along with the Biri:n and six other hordes. Radcliffe-Brown, however, associates it with the Jukambal as a subtribe, and Mathews, who implies it is a tribe, extends the territory to Allora, which is incorrect. Despite the corrections, the area occupied seems to be of tribal rather than hordal size. The vocabulary gathered by Thomas (1900) closely parallels one gathered by me in 1938 and my informants at Woodenbong insisted that Kitabal was their proper tribal name. See additional notes under Jukambe, Queensland.
