Bindal people

The Bindal (aka Bendalgubber) are the Aboriginal Australian people whose ancestors originally possessed, occupied, used and enjoyed approximately 2600 km2 of coastal country from the mouth of the Burdekin River north to Cape Cleveland, inland to Leichhardt Range, in the state of Queensland

The Bindal people's coastal country includes the Burdekin River's outlet in the south, running northwards as far as Cape Cleveland and inland to the Leichhardt Range. They were the indigenous people of Ayr. Norman Tindale estimated the overall extent of their lands at about 1,000 square miles (2,600 km2).

Bindal is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of the Pama–Nyungan language family. Bowern suggests that it might have been a Maric language. Gavan Breen has classified it as one of the Lower Burdekin languages yet presumes that one of two Lower Burdekin languages, which he concluded were not Maric, is Bindal. Only some confused word lists survive bearing on Bindal.
