The Djaberadjabera held, according to [[Norman Tindale]]'s estimation, some {{convert|800|mi2|km2}} of tribal land on the western side of the [[Dampier Peninsula]]. From the coastal area of Sandy Point at [[Beagle Bay Community, Western Australia|Beagle Bay]], their territory went south as far as Cape Bertholet. Their inland extension was about 30&nbsp;miles.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=240}}

Running clockwise, their neighbours were, to the north, the [[Nyulnyul people|Nyulnyul]], the [[Warrwa]] on their eastern flank, the [[Nimanburu]] southeast, and the [[Ngombal]] to their south.{{sfn|AIATSIS}}{{sfn|TTB|2016}}

==History of contact==
By 1953 only 5 members of the tribe were still known to survive, and in 1974 Tindale stated that they were virtually extinct.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=240}}
