Bidjara / Pitjara
Norman Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia assigns the Pitjara (alternatively Bidjara, Bidjera, Peechera) around 16,600 square kilometres on the headwaters of the Nogoa and Warrego rivers, extending south to Caroline, north of Augathella; east to Killarney and Chesteron, west to the Nive River and north to Mantuan Downs. Sheer cliffs mark their eastern boundary, and the country is well wooded.
The AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia places the Bidjara in the same location with the Yagalingu to their north and the Gayiri to the northeast.
Although the two groups may be related, they should not be confused with the Badjiri people on the lower Warrego River — an eastward movement of tribes south of Charleville in pre-contact times may have split the Pitjara from the Badjiri into separate tribal groups — or the Bitjara on the Buloo River.
