Botany Bay National Park, Kurnell, Cronulla

Sydney, New South Wales

A tour with history, scenic beauty and other cultural attributes. Visit Kurnell the birthplace of modern Australia, as it was the first landing site of Lieutenant (later, Captain) James Cook, who went ashore onto what is now the suburb of Kurnell on 29 April 1770. It was originally intended to be the site of the first British Settlement, before Sydney Cove was chosen as the location during the First Fleet. Botany Bay National Park has some other historic interactive points of interest along with Yena Picnic Area and Cape Solander for Whale watching during the migratory season. Cronulla is a popular tourist attraction and attracts many beachgoers from all over Sydney. Cronulla Beach features a long stretch of sand that runs from Boat Harbour to North Cronulla, followed by rock pools and another sandy beach at South Cronulla.
