Kurnell Sand Dunes

Kurnell is a suburb in Sydney, Australia, located on the Kurnell Peninsula, which is characterized by an island of outcropping bedrock on its eastern end and a sand spit on its western end. The area features extensive sand dunes, including the Calsil Dune and the Australand Dune, which support significant plant communities and species. The dunes are a result of the migration of sand from Bate Bay and have been shaped by the predominant south-easterly winds. The area is also home to several historic sites, including the landing place of Lieutenant James Cook and his crew in 1770. Visitors can explore the area's natural beauty, including its beaches, dunes, and wildlife, as well as its historic significance. The Kurnell area is part of the Kamay Botany Bay National Park and offers various activities such as walking tracks, whale watching, and birdwatching
