Location information: 
I suspect that this is one of the groups heavily impacted by the gold rush, i.e. located along the route from Cooktown to the Palmer fields. Caesar spoke Ikarrangaal, a Central Paman dialect somewhat south of this (Sommer 2007 p.c.)

Speaker numbers for ‘NILS 2004’ and ‘2005 estimate’ come from 'Table F.3: Numbers of speakers of Australian Indigenous languages (various surveys)' in 'Appendix F NILS endangerment and absolute number results' in McConvell, Marmion and McNicol 2005, pages 198-230 (PDF, 2.5MB).
