Baiame
Baiame (Baayami or Baayama) is a creational ancestral hero in the
dreaming of several language groups (e.g.
Kamilaroi,
Eora,
Darkinjung, and
Wiradjuri), of
Indigenous Australians of South-East
Australia. Baiame came down from the sky to the land, and created rivers, mountains, and forests. He then gave the people their laws of life, their traditions, their songs, and their culture. He also created the first initiatian site (called a bora).This is where boys were initiated to become men. When he had finished, he returned to the sky, and people called him the Sky Hero or the All Father.

Baiame
[Aboriginal] The totemic ancestor of the Kamilaroi tribe of New South Wales. An ancient sky god and 'father of all things', he was master of life and death -- the archetypal medicine-man. He answered invocations for rain, while his favourite wife, Birrahgnooloo, sent floods on request. Baiame also invented the stone fish trap.
