Wollombi Corroboree
email wvac@wollombi.org for information
The dissected sandstone plateau country in the Mount Yengo
area is of the highest spiritual significance
to the Aboriginal peoples of NSW, with an abundance of cave art, rock engravings
and stone arrangements
traditionally used for learning and ceremony for over ten thousand years
Mount Yengo is to the Aborigines of NSW as Uluru is to the Aborigines of Central
Australia
Wollombi village is located on the site of a former corroboree ground,
being the meeting place of pathways from a number of traditional areas.

Held on a property close to Wollombi
the corroboree is an annual event that has been happening for the last 16 years.
The corroboree, a celebration of culture, includes traditional dances from
around NSW
The corroboree is a vital link in keeping traditional culture alive, and
invigorates the spirit of the land
The corroboree, strongly supported by the Wollombi community, presents an
opportunity to share
Aboriginal culture with indigenous and non-indigenous people alike
The corroboree promotes connection with culture and with the spirit of the land
