beaches, clifftop heathland walks, rainforest cycle tracks, and much more.


there are allot of Aboriginal rock-sites like pipi, stingray, oyster, groper, snapper, and kangaroo .

About Bundeena Maianbar

Bundeena takes its name from an Aboriginal word meaning "noise like thunder" and has a

distinct history. You will find traces of the original inhabitants, the Dharawal people, in rock

carvings and middens (seafood shell piles). In addition to its famous artists and tranquil setting,.

Views


The National Park Fire Break, which protects the eastern border of Bundeena from bush fires,




runs north-south between Eric St and Beachcomber Ave. At various points it provides views of


the Jibbon headland, Sydney, the sand hills of Cronulla, the Kurnell headland and the National


Park.


Bundeena House


Just west of the Bundeena ferry terminal (along Horderns Beach) is a fine old weatherboard


home built around 1910 on Gunnamatta Bay. It was disassembled in 1956 and transferred, in


sections, to its present location via pontoons, then reassembled. Originally a guesthouse and


restaurant it is now a meeting place of the Bundeena House Christian Community and is


heritage-listed. Photographs survive of the house in transit along the water.
