TheGeynyon, also written Keinjan,[1] are anindigenous Australian people ofsouthern Queensland. According to research done by Queensland South Native Title Services (QSNTS) entitled South East Regional Research Project (SERRP) 'Geynyan' are in all likelihood an dialect/estate group of the wider Githabul peoples. In May 2021 the Githabul peoples lodged a Native Title claim (Waringh Waringh) over much of the former Warwick Shire within the Southern Downs Regional Council area.[2]
The Geynyon, according to the estimation ofNorman Tindale, had 1,400 square miles (3,600 km2) of territory.[1] They ranged fromStanthorpe just north of the border withNew South Wales to aroundHendon andAllora, which formed their northern limit. To the east, their lands extended as far as theGreat Dividing Range. Their western frontier lay around Herries Range and beyond Thane, includingWarwick and the area close toLeyburn.R. H. Mathews also claimedInglewood was part of their territory, which Tindale did not accept.[1] In Margaret Sharpe's map of Bundjalung dialects, based on the work ofTerry Crowley, the Logan River marked their eastern border with theYugambeh, while their southern frontier with theGithabul lay just beyondKillarney.[3]
