The Thalanyji, also spelt Thalandji, Dhalandji, and other variations, are an Aboriginal Australian people in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Country
Thalanyji lands, according to Norman Tindale, encompassed approximately 4,500 square miles (12,000 km2), running along the Ashburton River, and extending from the coast to Nanutarra, Boolaloo, and the lower Henry River. Tindale thought that their presence around Exmouth Gulf reflected late migration to that area.
