Kamay Botany Bay National Park

Kamay Botany Bay National Park is a heritage-listed protected area located on the northern and southern headlands of Botany Bay in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The 456-hectare national park sits approximately 16 kilometres southeast of the Sydney central business district, spanning the La Perouse headland to the north and the Kurnell Peninsula to the south. The park occupies a place of profound historical significance as the site where Captain James Cook first set foot on Australian soil in 1770, marking the beginning of British colonial interest in the continent. It is equally significant to Aboriginal communities as the traditional Country of the Gweagal people on the southern shores and the Cadigal people on the northern headland. The park encompasses dramatic Hawkesbury sandstone cliffs, coastal heathlands, dune forests, and the ecologically important Towra Point Nature Reserve, a Ramsar-listed wetland system. The name Kamay reflects the Aboriginal heritage of the area.
