Yeah, I know. I've seen the maps of tribal regions. What I meant was 
that I don't know how useful 'Yamatji' is if they don't use it 
themselves ("self-identification"), as the Koori and Murri do their 
respective names.

This map might interest you, purely from a curiosity perspective:

or this historical map based on work by Norman B. Tindale:

Personally, I'm a Novacastrian, but the one two hours up the coast from 
Sydney. "Coals to Newcastle" still applies though.
