Sun 28 Apr 2019
Kurnell is a large peninsula that juts out into the Tasman Sea between Botany Bay on the north and Port Hacking on the south side. Located 36km south of Sydney's CBD, it's widely accepted that the origin of its name is an Anglicised version of
Cunnel, a name the peninsula was given by the Gweagal Aboriginal group, part of the larger Dharawal group.
This sleepy little seaside town is a site of great historical importance as it was here that both Captain Cook and Governor Phillip first set foot on Australian soil, first raided the flag of British Territorial and imperial claim and had their first encounters with Aborigines and the Australian bush.
The
Kurnell Village Fair is a time when everyone comes out of the woodwork for some
FREE family fun times. Locals can walk, skate, scooter or bike to the Fair. If you're after public transport, catch the train to Cronulla Station, then jump on the 987 bus or Uber it to Kurnell. If you're driving, there's lots of all day street parking, and rest assured, it's an easy 10 min stroll from anywhere in Kurnell.
