Stage 2 History excursion - Kamay Bay

Date

26 March

Time

9:30 AM-2:45 PM

Location
Kamay Botany Bay National Park Visitor Centre – 21 Cape Solander Drive Kurnell

This hands on history excursion allows students to learn about the unique history of this site for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Students will participate in a re-enactment of the first contact between Aboriginal people and James Cook at Kamay Botany Bay. They will investigate and compare a range of daily life aspects for Aboriginal and European people. They will work as an artist to record a Banskia specimen. Students will follow the Burrawang Walk to experience some sense of how the Aboriginal people lived and related to the land. The Monument Track gives them the opportunity to explore a variety of new sculptures and old monuments. Students will collect evidence to create a Zine (small magazine).
