Jack Smith identifies pathways through Darkinung country. From Mt Yengo, tracks link it to Oombi Oombi near Bourke (Mt Oxley) and Mumbulla Mountain on the south coast. In ancient times, Wa-boo-ee, the demon-spirit of the Wollombi tribe who controlled the seasons, springs from Devil’s Rock to land on Mt Yengo and step up into the sky. Another creation story is associated with the pathways of Tiddalik, a giant frog who lived in the Wollombi Valley and drank more than his share of the Wollombi Brook.
