The Wambuul Ceremonial Ground was created on the banks of the Wambuul (the Macquarie River) in 2015 as part of the events that marked the bicentenary of the proclamation of the settlement of Bathurst by Governor Lachlan Macquarie.

Elder Yanhadarrambal (Uncle Jade Flynn) said the ceremonial site is an important area not just for the Wiradyuri.

"This particular site is a ceremonial site and is used by Wiradyuri and other Aboriginal people from time to time," he said.

"It's also important for all the other members of the community who come down here for their own health and fitness, meditation, just to have a quiet time down by the river."

The newly unveiled sign details a brief history of the Wiradyuri but it also details the harsh reality that many Wiradyuri people faced when Governor Macquarie and other settlers arrived in 1815.

Their arrival signalled the dispossession of the Wiradyuri. Many were forced to relocate, while many were killed or injured in what has become known as the Frontier Wars.

"It's pretty important in Bathurst's history to tell this particular story about the Frontier Wars," Yanhadarrambal said.

"It's not something people are normally comfortable talking about.

"So to have a sign that puts it right out there in the public is a very significant step for the Bathurst community, to be able to have these conversations."

Yanhadarrambal wanted to thank Bathurst Regional Council general manager David Sherley and strategic planning manager Janet Bingham for their part in the sign's installation.

"If it wasn't for David and Janet, who have pushed with this and have been in constant contact with us, it simply wouldn't have happened," he said.

"We'd like to give them full credit for getting to this point."
