The Kambuwal were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland.
Country
editNorman Tindale estimated that the Kambuwal's territory stretched over some 3,700 square miles (9,600 km2). They straddled the border between Queensland and New South Wales, from south of Millmerran, and Inglewood to Bonshaw.[1] Their eastern flank ended around Stanthorpe, Wallangarra and the western scarp of the Great Dividing Range.[1]
