naggangbi gweagalgulli nguranhung nhay (Dharawal language)
Welcome – this is Gweagal peoples' country.
People have lived at Kamay Botany Bay for thousands of years.
Kurnell is a significant site as a meeting place for the Gweagal, the Aboriginal people living on the southern shore of Kamay Botany Bay. It is a place of natural abundance.
Kamay Botany Bay is also the place of the first meeting between the Aboriginal people and the British who arrived on the HMB Endeavour in 1770.
