Let me take you back to Aboriginal Times in Wollombi Valley, Wollombi is a small town in hunter region of New South Wales, Australia.
In earliest times the traditional conservators of the vicinity are
believed to be the Darkinjung people; however it is also mentioned that
Awabakal and Wonnarua tribe settled there to.
It is surrounded by a wide number of aboriginal sites that they thought
to be used as a meeting place to perform ceremonies before. Rock
carvings, hand marks, and tribal markings and other images on caves,
shelters, and outcrops around the town that they used it as a camping
site were also found.
Moving forward to European history the foundation and development of the
community of Wollombi was connected with the construction and
significance of the Great Northern Road in the early nineteenth century.
The Great Northern Road was built between of 1826 to 1836 to come up
with a terrestrial route from Sydney to Newcastle and the Hunter Valley.
