Worimi people

Worimi people

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.
