The former presence of a Bora Ground, or Aboriginal initiation site, with carved trees, somewhere between Wollombi Brook and Wallaby Scrub Road in the Hunter Valley, is mentioned in heritage reports and local history publications, and was to be investigated as part of my continued research into Hunter Valley postcontact Aboriginal history. What evidence there was indicated the site to be similar to another higher up the valley, of which I had recently made a study [Brayshaw in prep]. The investigation relating to the Bora Ground in the Wallaby Scrub became more urgent as it appeared that its suggested location of this site, which was likely to be of considerable significance to the Aboriginal community, could be affected by proposed expansion of mining at Wambo Mine. This paper describes an attempt to augment the available documentation and locate the site as accurately as possible, even though it was understood that no physical evidence of it remained.
