Yidinjdji

Yidinjdji belongs to the tropical forest country of northeastern Australia. Yidiny lands have been described around the Barron River and the lowland rainforests near present-day Cairns, extending inland towards Mount Hypipamee. Rivers, forests and uplands offered different resources as the seasons changed.

The Yidiny spoke their own language and consisted of several clans with ties to particular areas. Relationships with neighbouring peoples connected communities beyond their immediate country. Knowledge of plants, paths and seasonal conditions was part of an inherited relationship with the rainforest landscape.
