Cape Baily Walking Track - Kurnell

Our walk began at Kurnell, with a mandatory stop off at the sculptures and a first time walk along the newly constructed Kamay Ferry wharf. From here we continued our walk up to Cape Solander getting us to the start of Cape Baily Walking Track. If you love the panoramic ocean views from the sandstone cliffs of Kamay Botany Bay National Park then Cape Baily Walking Track is for you. Close to Cronulla, it's a great place to spot whales, dolphins and native birds. The Sculptures 1. EYES OF THE LAND AND THE SEA This sculpture brings together different perspectives of our shared history- the bones of a whale and the ribs of a ship and sits in the tidal zone between the ship and the shore where the identity of modern Australia lies The artists worked closely with researchers at the Gujaga Foundation and Gweagal artists, Shane Youngberry to develop the rib detail. 2. NUWI CANOES The Gweagal people traditionally fished from stringybark canoes to attract fish making them easier to catch. Cook and Banks observed this during their eight day stay at Kamay. The work was cast from a Nuwi locally made by Dean Kelly and David Payne 3. THE WHALES The whale is a dreaming figure for the Dharawal speaking people. The Gweagal people looked for the whales from the Kurnell Peninsula, remembering once being a part of the ocean, but now of the land- A spiritual connection The rock weave was cast from a woven fishing net by master weaver, Aunty Phyllis Stewart
