The Punthamara were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland.
According to Norman Tindale, the Punthamara's tribal territories embraced roughly 3,200 square miles (8,300 km2), along the creeks flowing east of the Grey Range, whose western flank they lived about only as far as Mount Margaret and Congie.
Running north from Orient and Thargomindah, their lands approached the vicinity of Quilpie.
[2][3] The early ethnographer R. H. Mathews argued that the Punthamara were just one tribal group in a larger entity, which he called Wonkamurra Nation, consisting also of the Wongkumara, Kalali, Yandruwandha and Yauraworka.
[4] The notion of such artificial supratribal "nations" has been viewed skeptically by Tindale.
