The Meeting Place in Kamay Botany Bay National Park.
Kurnell is a place of profound cultural and historical significance. It is a symbolic meeting place of cultures, from the first meeting between Captain James Cook and Indigenous Australians, to later meetings involving people of differing nationalities and the seeds of a successful multicultural nation.
We 'do' national monuments in a low-key way in this country. And that is not always a good thing. I know this place is 'remote' and bordering on the pristine, but I think more should be made of its pivotal role in the 'invasion'.
