We acknowledge the Awabakal and Worimi peoples who are

the descendants of the traditional custodians of the land and

waters within the Newcastle Local Government Area which

are featured in this guide. We recognise their cultural heritage,

beliefs and continuing connection to the land and waters and

pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

The Newy with Kids Scavenger Hunt series has been supported by the City of Newcastle’s Boost Your Place placemaking grant.

According to local Aboriginal legend,

a creature lives inside Whibayganba

(Nobbys Headland) and occasionally shakes

his tail. This explains the earthquakes

and trembles that we experience in this region.
