The Koko Njekodi (Guugu-Nyiguudyi) were an indigenous Australian people of Northern Queensland.

Country

In Norman Tindale's calculations, the Kokonyekodi were assigned a territorial reach of some 400 square miles (1,000 km2) around the area of the Starcke River, running northwest almost to Murdoch Point on the Coral Sea. Their southeastern limit was at Cape Flattery, and they were also present at Munburra.[1]
