Terry Hie Hie is a “safelands” on which many clan groups come together, including some of Gavi Duncan’s mob. Gavi is a descendant of William Bird (“Little Breeches”) from the Lake Macquarie region. John Cory owns Terry Hie Hie station and maintains good relations with Aboriginal people. Many are employed on the station and Cory recognises the Aboriginal “King” and “Queen” of Terry Hie Hie with brass plates. It has long been an important corroboree ground with many axe grinding stones. (Department of Environment and Heritage: Terrie Hie Hie Aboriginal Place)
