Country

The Geynyon, according to the estimation of Norman Tindale, had of territory. They ranged from Stanthorpe just north of the border with New South Wales to around Hendon and Allora, which formed their northern limit. To the east, their lands extended as far as the Great Dividing Range. Their western frontier lay around Herries Range and beyond Thane, including Warwick and the area close to Leyburn. R. H. Mathews also claimed Inglewood was part of their territory, which Tindale did not accept. In Margaret Sharpe's map of Bundjalung dialects, based on the work of Terry Crowley, the Logan River marked their eastern border with the Yugambeh, while their southern frontier with the Githabul lay just beyond Killarney.
