The precise territorial boundaries of the Jagera are not clear.
Norman Tindale defined the "Jagara" (Jagera) lands as encompassing the area around the
Brisbane River from the
Cleveland district west to the
dividing range and north to the vicinity of
Esk. According to Watson, the "Yugarabul tribe" (Jagera) inhabited the territories from
Moreton Bay to
Toowoomba to the west, extending almost to
Nanango in the northwest. He also describes their territory as "the basins of the Brisbane and
Caboolture Rivers" and states that a sub-group of the Yugarabul was the "Turaubul" (Turrbal) people whose territory included the site of the modern city of Brisbane. According to Steele, the territory of the "Yuggera people" (Jagera) extended south to the
Logan river, north almost to Caboolture and west to Toowoomba. However, he considered that Turrbal speakers covered much of Brisbane from the Logan river to the
Pine river. Ford and Blake state that the Jagera and Turrbal were distinct peoples, the Jagera generally living south of the Brisbane river and the Turrbal mostly living north. At the time of European settlement, the Jagera people comprised local groups each of which had a specific territory. The European names for the locality groups, sometimes called clans, of the Brisbane area include the Coorpooroo, Chepara, Yerongpan and others. Jagera territory adjoined that of the
Wakka Wakka and the
Gubbi Gubbi (also written Kabi Kabi or Gabi Gabi) to the north, and that of the
Yugambeh and the
Bundjalung people to the south. ==Native title==
