Country

Norman Tindale's (1974) Catalogue of Australian Aboriginal tribes identifies Kokonyungal country as covering from "Annan River; south to Rossville; west to Annan-Normanby Divide"

Kuku Nyungkal people, in their own country based Strategic Plan, describe the extent of their country as follows:

Kuku Nyungkal Country lies in the northern part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. The boundaries of our Country stretch from Annan River, Kings Plain, Rossville, Shiptons Flat and Mount Amos/Archer Point to Cedar Bay and includes Hope Islands

A locally informed and produced "Bama Way" map acknowledges Kuku Nynungkal country and advises it is bounded to the north by the lower Annan River (aka Yuku Baja), and to the south by Russell Creek (aka Ngarrilmurril')

    David R. Gergen (b. 1942)

    Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Just as there are not two suns in the sky, so a country cannot have two kings.
    Chinese proverb.
