Significance to indigenous Australians

Mount Yengo is a natural feature of spiritual and ceremonial importance to the Wonnarua, Awabakal, Worimi and Darkinjung Indigenous Australians. According to indigenous mythology, Mount Yengo is the place from which Baiame, a creational ancestral hero, jumped back up to the spirit world after he had created all of the mountains, lakes, rivers and caves in the area. Baiame flattened the top of Mount Yengo when he jumped skyward and the flat top is still visible today.[3][4]

gollark: The trouble with automating IOUs would be that you *can* just not collect something, even if they're autotransferred somehow.
gollark: Ah, that didn't end too well, did it.
gollark: Wouldn't work too well, but you know, better than nothing.
