Worimi

Worimi people are Indigenous Australians from the eastern Port Stephens and Great Lakes regions 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. They were said to be taller and stouter than those living around Sydney and were said to be more prone to laughter than tears.

The Worimi's lands extended over 1,500 sq. miles according to Norman Tindale, who specified that the tribal area encompassed the Hunter River to the coastal town of Forster near Cape Hawke. It reached Port Stephens and ran inland as far as roughly Gresford and in proximity of Glendon Brook, Dungog, the top of Myall Creek. To the south, their territory extended to Maitland.

In July 2016, the New South Wales government declared 5.9 ha (14.6 acres) of the suburb of Soldiers Point to be an Aboriginal place, recognising that Soldiers Point was a special place for cultural, spiritual and historic reasons to the Worimi people.

The Worimi were, like most other Australian Indigenous people in Australia, hunter-gatherers. They subsisted on resources found within their tribal land areas. Marine food, especially shell-fish were preferred by those tribes that lived closest to the sea - the Maiangal, Gamipingal and the Grewerigal peoples. Due to the reliability of this resource it was preferred over land animals and vegetables. The latter two were used as supplementary foods and added variety to their diet. Animals that were abundant included kangaroos and goannas, possums, snakes and flying foxes. Vegetables eaten included fern roots, stalks of the Gymea lily, and the bloom of the banksia.
