Cessnock lies upon the Traditional Custodian
country of the Wonnarua Nation and also
includes Darkinjung and Awabakal lands.
Within the lands of the Wonnarua Nation are
many significant cultural and spiritual sites.
Mount Yengo, for instance, is told as the
place where Baiame jumped to return to the
spirit world after he had created the lakes,
rivers, mountains and caves in the area.
When Baiame jumped towards the sky, he
flattened the top of Mount Yengo, and that
flat top can still be seen today.
