Report on Bundeena

Bundeena is one area in Royal National Park, not too far away from here. If you want go there you have two possibilities, one is by ferry from Cronulla and one is by car through the Royal National Park.

This is quite an uncontaminated area. Few people live there. There is a Club too to enjoy some foods and drinks.The most important things to see in Bundeena are the fantastic beach, the panorama and the Aboriginal engravings. made from the Dharawal people from 200 -5000 years ago.

To discover them you need to walk on the beach and arrive in the area where the rocks start. You climb a little bit and follow a path that brings you straight to this isolated area. The Dharawal people made a simple life by fishing. They made canoes and enjoyed drawing on the rock. They drew some important elements from the place where they lived, for example, Kangoroos, Stingrays, Turtles and some different kinds of fish and molluscs.

There is some damage on the drawings due to erosion, consequences of the weather( after thousands of years). Unfortunatly, some damage is from careless people.
