Kamay Botany Bay National Park

The national park spans 456 hectares across eastern Botany Bay, featuring sandstone cliffs, coastal vegetation, and diverse wildlife species throughout its territory.

Captain James Cook's first landing site in Australia occurred here in 1770, leading to the collection of numerous plant specimens by botanist Sir Joseph Banks.

Archaeological evidence reveals 12,000 years of Indigenous presence, with Dharawal and Cadigal peoples using the area's resources for traditional fishing and dwelling.

Visitors can access multiple walking trails, information centers, and designated picnic areas while exploring both the northern La Perouse and southern Kurnell sections.

The reserve contains over 350 native plant species and provides critical habitat for endangered wildlife, including the green and gold bell frog.
