Paaruntyi

According to Norman Tindale's calculations the Paaruntyi would have exercised control over some {{convert|8,000|mi2|km2}} of tribal land, around the Paroo River and Cuttaburra and Kulkyne Creek

from Goorimpa north to Brindangabba, Berawinna Downs, as far as the border with Queensland at Hungerford. Their land included Wanaaring and Yantabulla.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=198}}

Running clockwise from the north, their neighbours were the Kalali and Badyuri, on their eastern flank were the Kurnu, the Naualko lay to their south, while the Wanjiwalku were on their western frontier, together, in the northwest, with the Karenggapa.

The Paaruntyi had a two class system of marriage:{{sfn|Cameron|1885|p=348}}

The Paaruntyi rites of initiation involved neither circumcision nor subincision.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=198}}
