| | Location | Northern side of Lachlan River from near Booligal - to vicinity of Balranald, west to Carrawathal. A survivor in 1950 who spoke during a reenactment of the Sturt Expedition used the term ['Jita'jita] but also varied his pronunciation to ['Hita'hita]. Evidently they were closely related to the Muthimuthi (which see). |
