Worimi people
Worimi people are Indigenous Australians from the eastern Port Stephens and Great Lakes regions of coastal New South Wales, Australia.[1] 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.[2]They were said to be taller and stouter than those living around Sydney and were said to be more prone to laughter than tears.[3]
