Location: Coast at northern end of Shark Bay between Gascoyne and Wooramel rivers; inland to near Red Hill and Gascoyne Junction. The inland hordes were sometimes called ['Kurudandi] which may have been the original of the station name Coordewandy which lies just east of their presently claimed border. Oldfield (1865) stated that the people of this tribe practiced circumcision as a male initiatory rite, using a sharp flint; this is denied by present-day men who said only the Wadjari people farther inland had this practice. It is possible that the Kurudandi hordes at one time were beginning to adopt the rites. They did not claim the flood plain of the Cascoyne which was Mandi territory. There are further notes under the tribal heading Wadjari which are relevant to this tribe.
