The Kunandaburi or Karendala (Garandala) were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland.

Country

In Norman Tindale's estimation the Karendala had tribal lands of some 3,000 square miles (7,800 km2). These covered areas like Cooper Creek, and Durham Downs, and their northern limits lay around Mount Howitt. Their eastern frontier was at Plevna Downs, the McGregor Range, and in the vicinity of Eromanga.[1]
