Kokata (SA)
| Location | At Tarcoola, Kingoonyah, Pimba, and McDouall Peak; west to Ooldea and the Ooldea Range; north to Stuart Range and Lake Phillipson. The junction between Kokata and Pangkala territories is at the rather sudden drop down from the open plateau to the Acacia scrub-covered low hills and salt lake area nearer the gulf. Southeastward migratory movements were in progress before 1850; earliest positively known boundaries are indicated on map; the Ooldea area was abandoned after the arrival of Jangkundjara from the north in 1917. The Kokata were the so-called Gawler Range tribe. Their original northwestern boundary was somewhere near 130°E longitude. Their territory included some of the most inhospitable country in Australia; the water from tree roots was a necessary source over much of the area. |
Co-ordinates | 134°0'E x 29°20'S |
