The History of the Worimi People by Mick Leon
The History of the Worimi People By Mick Leon The Tobwabba story is really the story of the original Worimi people from the Great Lakes region of coastal New South Wales, Australia. Before contact with settlers, their people extended from Port Stephens in the south to Forster/Tuncurry in the north and as far west as Gloucester. The Worimi is made up of several tribes; Buraigal, Gamipingal and the Garawerrigal. The people of the Wallis Lake area, called Wallamba, had one central campsite which is now known as Coomba Park. Their descendants, still living today, used this campsite 'til 1843. The Wallamba had possibly up to 500 members before white contact was made. The middens around the Wallis Lake area suggest that food from the lake and sea was abundant, as well as wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, waterfowl and fruit bats. Fire was an important feature of life, both for campsites and the periodic 'burning ' of the land. The people now number less than 200 and from these families, in the main, come the Tobwabba artists. In their work, they express images of their environment, their spiritual beliefs and the life of their ancestors. The name Tobwabba means 'a place of clay' and refers to a hill on which the descendants of the Wallamba now have their homes. They make up a 'mission' called Cabarita with their own Land Council to administer their affairs. Aboriginal History of the Great Lakes District The following extract is provided courtesy of Great Lakes Council (Narelle Marr, 1997): In 1788 there were about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia. -

BIRDING LOCATIONS of the LOWER MID NORTH COAST
BIRDING LOCATIONS of the LOWER MID NORTH COAST Including the Lower MANNING VALLEY surrounding TAREE and the Regent Bowerbird WALLIS LAKE area around FORSTER / TUNCURRY 2017 edition Prepared By Manning Great Lakes Birdwatchers Inc. THE LOWER MID NORTH COAST The Lower Manning Valley surrounding Taree and the Wallis Lake area around Forster / Tuncurry are each a paradise for birdwatchers. Numerous National Parks, State Forests and Nature Reserves contain a variety of natural vegetation types including rainforest, woodland, coastal heath and tidal estuaries hosting many species of birds. The Lower Mid North Coast is fringed by endless kilometres of white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and rugged cliffs providing many opportunities to view seabirds as well as dolphins and whales. Visitors will enjoy easy access to most areas by conventional vehicles, with 4 wheel drive(s) tracks available for the more adventurous. Many species of waterbirds, bushbirds and raptors, including nests, can be viewed along the pristine waterways of The Manning River or Wallis Lake. Regular cruises are available and small self-skippered boats can be hired. Accommodation is available to cater for all needs. The list includes the land and freshwater birds reliably recorded in the Manning Valley and Great Lakes are as well as the common seabirds to be seen from the coast. Some have been seen only once or a few times in recent years, or are known now only from a small area while others can be seen any day in appropriate habitat. Any unusual sightings or suggestions regarding this brochure may be forwarded to the address below and would be greatly appreciated. -
The Permanent Walk Booklet Update
1 2 THE OLD AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL COMPANY KARUAH TO TAHLEE WALK BOOKLET (Revised for 2015) We acknowledge and recognise the Worimi people on whose land we walk. GENERAL INTRODUCTION WHY WALK? Once every year, Karuah residents and friends walk the 5 kilometres or so from Karuah to Tahlee along the Old AACo Road. It only happens once a year because the road crosses Yalimbah Creek and the bridge that used to cross the creek has gone. In the late 1950s, the bridge which had been built under the direction of Robert Dawson in 1826 was burnt down by persons unknown. At that stage, the bridge was more than 130 years old, a remarkable age for a wooden bridge. Up to that point residents of the two villages had travelled back and forth on a daily basis. From then on, they were forced to take the current route which is 14 kilometres long. So, every year for the last five years, a local oyster farmer has offered an oyster barge to carry people over the creek and around 150 people re-enact the trip from village to village. Karuah Progress association hosts the day which includes a light lunch, guides, afternoon tea and an inspection of historic Tahlee House and a bus ride back to Karuah via the new route as well as a photocopied version of this booklet. TAHLEE AND KARUAH – IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY: In 1825 when the Australian Agricultural Company was formed, 10,000 shares were offered at one hundred pounds per share and they were snapped up by the rich and famous. -

A bioregional assessment is a scientific analysis of the ecology, hydrology, geology and hydrogeology of a bioregion with explicit assessment of the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of coal seam gas and large coal mining development on water resources. This Programme draws on the best available scientific information and knowledge from many sources, including government, industry and regional communities, to produce bioregional assessments that are independent, scientifically robust, and relevant and meaningful at a regional scale. The Programme is funded by the Australian Government Department of the Environment. The Department of the Environment, Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia are collaborating to undertake bioregional assessments. For more information, visit <www.bioregionalassessments.gov.au>. Department of the Environment The Office of Water Science, within the Australian Government Department of the Environment, is strengthening the regulation of coal seam gas and large coal mining development by ensuring that future decisions are informed by substantially improved science and independent expert advice about the potential water related impacts of those developments.
