Baiame Cave

The Aboriginal people of the east coast of New South Wales in Australia believe Baiame is the creator. 'Baiame cave', also known as - Creator Cave, Dhurramulan, Goign, Wabooee, Baiamai, Biami, Baimae, Biamie, Biaime, Byarmie and Byarme, is located in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales. It is a very important spiritual site to the people of the Wonnarau Nation, and other Aboriginal people. Baiame is represented through art on the rear wall of the cave, as a large male figure with both arms outstretched, filled with red pigment and bordered with white pigment. 

Mention of Baiame and Baiame cave can be found in many fables of the Aboriginal people. 

"I am going on a long journey towards the setting sun," he told his people. "I will not stop until I come to the home of Baiame himself." 

"Have you come here to see my father?" she asked. 

"Yes. It has been a long journey, but my soul told me to come to see the Great Spirit." 

"You can see his body there," Byallaburragan told him. "It is many moons since any man has been bold enough to look at Baiame. he is asleep and you must not wake him. Look!"
