Country

assigned the Kalaako a tribal reach extending over, running up north from Green Patch and Scaddan to beyond Widgemooltha. It took in Mount Monger, Golden Ridge, and Burbanks. Their eastern boundary lay some west of Fraser Range, at a site mined for red ochre, known in the native language as Karkanja. Their western frontier was around the Bremer Range. The Johnston Lakes, Mount Holland, Barker Lake, Koongornin, Norseman and Salmon Gums all lie on what was Kalaako territory.
The tribes neighbouring the Kalaako were, clockwise from the north, the Maduwongga, the Tjeraridjal, the Ngadjunmaia, the Njunga due south; the Wudjari, the Njakinjaki, and the Kalamaia to the northeast.
