In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Baiame was the creator deity and sky father in the Dreaming of several indigenous Australian peoples of south-eastern Australia, such as the Wonnarua, Kamilaroi, Eora, Darkinjung, and Wiradjuri.
● The legend of Baiame describes how Baiame descended from heaven and created rivers, mountains, and forests. He then taught the people their laws of life, traditions, songs, and culture.
He was also the creator of the first initiation site. This is referred to as the bora, which is where the boys were initiated into manhood. When he finished, he returned to the sky, where he was known as the Sky Hero, All-Father, or Sky Father.
